South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson expressed approval following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Tennessee’s law prohibiting gender-transition procedures for minors. The ruling is seen as a significant victory for those advocating parental rights and child protection.
“This is a win for sanity and for the safety of our kids,” stated Attorney General Wilson. He emphasized his office’s support for Tennessee by filing legal briefs, attending the Supreme Court hearing, and defending states’ rights to protect children from what he described as “dangerous, experimental, and irreversible medical procedures disguised as healthcare.”
Wilson highlighted his presence at the Supreme Court during oral arguments, asserting that “children are not political pawns” and that states have both the right and responsibility to safeguard them.
In South Carolina, Wilson noted efforts to support similar legislation in Florida and advance their own ‘Help Not Harm’ law aimed at protecting minors from experimental medical interventions. He reiterated that today’s decision confirms there is no constitutional right to subject children to such procedures.
“The Court has made clear: states do not have to surrender to radical gender ideology,” Wilson said. “We will continue to stand up for parents, for biological reality, and for the truth.”
