Parental rights
 

Parents are closest to their child’s challenges; they are in the best position to make healthcare decisions involving the wellbeing of their child. The proposed ban would deny families the freedom to seek counseling aligned with their faith. Parents have the fundamental right to care for their children until they become adults in their own right.
