The Daily Citizen has covered several important legal and legislative victories for families in 2025.
This Thanksgiving, we’re particularly thankful for these five wins.
Congress Defunds Big Abortion
Congress defunded the abortion industry in July with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
The provision prohibits Planned Parenthood and its compatriots from receiving Medicaid funds for one year, depriving the abortion industry of an estimated $800 million of taxpayer money.
Nearly 70 Planned Parenthood centers closed from lack of funds this year — good news for babies and taxpayers alike.
Supreme Court Upholds State Law Banning Sex-Rejecting Procedures
In United States v. Skrmetti, the US Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law banning sex-rejecting procedures for minors.
The groundbreaking decision created a constitutional blueprint for states seeking to protect children from dangerous wrong-sex hormones, puberty blockers and sex-rejecting surgeries.
Executive Orders Shore Up Title IX
President Donald Trump signed two executive orders reestablishing the integrity of Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs.
The first order, “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” defines sex as either male or female. It directs the federal government to enforce statutes like Title IX using the correct, scientific definition of sex, rather than ideological interpretations including so-called “gender identity.”
The second order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” instructs the federal government to rescind funding to educational programs allowing boys to participate in womens sports.
Together, the executive orders incentivize school districts to protect women and respect biological reality.
HHS Report Discrediting Sex-Rejecting Procedures
The Department of Health and Human Services released a comprehensive report on the effects of sex-rejecting procedures on children in May.
The evidentiary review confirmed what many American medical institutions denied for years: Wrong-sex hormones, puberty blockers and sex-rejecting surgeries permanently damage children’s bodies with no evidence of benefit.
“So-called ‘gender-affirming care’ has inflicted lasting physical and psychological damage on vulnerable young people,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote in a press release on the finalized report.
“That is not medicine — it’s malpractice.”
The report gives child advocates and scientists a powerful weapon against gender ideology in medicine.
Supreme Court Upholds Age Verification
In Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, the Supreme Court upheld a Texas law requiring pornography companies verify the ages of their online consumers.
The ruling established a constitutional precedent for states to give pornography companies some legal responsibility for ensuring minors do not access adult content.
Such laws significantly decrease pornography consumption. When Louisiana implemented its age-verification law in 2022, traffic to Pornhub.com from the state reportedly dropped by 80%.
These policy wins protect children and families from gender ideology, transgender medical interventions, pornography and abortion. The Daily Citizen thanks God for his provision and for the opportunity to cover these critical topics.
Happy thanksgiving from our families to yours!
