The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Jordan Carpenter regarding West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s signing Saturday of HB 2129, a bill that protects parents’ fundamental right to guide the upbringing, education, and health care of their children:
“Parents love and know their child best, and they have the right and duty to direct the upbringing and care of their children. In no world should the government intrude on parenting choices just because it disagrees with the parents. The West Virginia Parents’ Bill of Rights ensures parents remain free to guide the upbringing, education, and health care of their children without undue government interference. ADF commends Gov. Morrisey and Delegate Jim Butler for their leadership on this legislation and for joining the 19 other states with laws that protect the parent-child relationship that forms the bedrock of our society.”
Alliance Defending Freedom is an alliance-building, non-profit legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.
