Please pray that the appeal by NC Treasurer Dale Folwell overturns the ruling made by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. Copied from North Carolina Values Coalition Website: CAROLINA JOURNAL: SCOTUS Could Accept, NC State Health Plan Transgender Treatment Month “The nation’s highest court is scheduled to review in December an appeal in a case involving the North Carolina State Health Plan’s coverage of medical treatments typically pursued by transgender patients. Justices will decide after that review whether to take the case.

The court could decide as early as the following week whether to take the case or allow the 4th Circuit decision to stand.” Our sister organization, the NC Values Institute filed an Amicus Curiae brief in the case to support Treasurer Folwell’s position.
