A Voice for Choice Advocacy weighed in on a Parental Rights case, In re
C.J.C., Relator, that is before the Texas Supreme Court, and could be on its
way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000) was the last time parental rights
came before the U.S. Supreme Court in which a divided plurality held that
parental rights are "perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests
recognized by this Court." Justice Thomas, in his concurring opinion,
stated, "But curiously, none of [his colleagues] articulates the appropriate
standard of review." Justice Thomas went on to state that strict scrutiny
should apply to infringements of the right to parent.

Troxel v. Granville was one of the key cases A Voice for Choice relied on in
their lawsuit against SB277. However, the state of the law is unclear.
Some states apply Troxel to grant strong protection for parental rights,
while other states, like California, do not give much credence to the notion
of parental rights. For these reasons, many of us have sought to clarify
the Troxel decision. If strong parental rights were the law of the land,
our SB 277 lawsuits would have likely been successful. We agree with
Justice Thomas that a "fundamental right" has to have clear legal
protections.

Our lawyers, including Brad Hakala, who was the key lawyer in our SB277 case
and saw firsthand the confusion around the Troxel decision, have submitted a
key amicus brief in the Texas Supreme Court on behalf of A Voice for Choice
Advocacy, and all of you who support parental rights.

If this case makes it to the Supreme Court (or if the Texas Supreme Court
issues a clear ruling), it could be a game-changer for the parental rights
issue in California. In re CJC would allow the Supreme Court to clear up
that confusion once and for all, by re-establishing strict-scrutiny
protection for parental rights in all 50 states. But first we have to get
past the hurdle in Texas, which is where we submitted our Amicus Brief
(attached).

A Voice for Choice Advocacy cannot do this crucial work without your

A Voice for Choice Advocacy weighed in on a Parental Rights case, In re
C.J.C., Relator, that is before the Texas Supreme Court, and could be on its
way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000) was the last time parental rights
came before the U.S. Supreme Court in which a divided plurality held that
parental rights are "perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests
recognized by this Court." Justice Thomas, in his concurring opinion,
stated, "But curiously, none of [his colleagues] articulates the appropriate
standard of review." Justice Thomas went on to state that strict scrutiny
should apply to infringements of the right to parent.

Troxel v. Granville was one of the key cases A Voice for Choice relied on in
their lawsuit against SB277. However, the state of the law is unclear.
Some states apply Troxel to grant strong protection for parental rights,
while other states, like California, do not give much credence to the notion
of parental rights. For these reasons, many of us have sought to clarify
the Troxel decision. If strong parental rights were the law of the land,
our SB 277 lawsuits would have likely been successful. We agree with
Justice Thomas that a "fundamental right" has to have clear legal
protections.

Our lawyers, including Brad Hakala, who was the key lawyer in our SB277 case
and saw firsthand the confusion around the Troxel decision, have submitted a
key amicus brief in the Texas Supreme Court on behalf of A Voice for Choice
Advocacy, and all of you who support parental rights.

If this case makes it to the Supreme Court (or if the Texas Supreme Court
issues a clear ruling), it could be a game-changer for the parental rights
issue in California. In re CJC would allow the Supreme Court to clear up
that confusion once and for all, by re-establishing strict-scrutiny
protection for parental rights in all 50 states. But first we have to get
past the hurdle in Texas, which is where we submitted our Amicus Brief
(attached).
