They've gotten involved.

So this is where I think that we have an opportunity in the state of Massachusetts to really change the situation there.

There's tens of millions of dollars on the line, as we've seen from the Trump administration.

They're not afraid of pressuring major states like California to make sure that they're following their policies, that they're not discriminating in these kinds of ways.

So they're involved.

Already, we have some statements from the state that are pretty weak, kind of saying, hey, look, we're just trying to protect children.

That argument doesn't hold up when you say, well, you're also not allowing families that are actually taking real action to protect children's lives, raise children that have special needs again.

So major case here.

We're going to see where this goes.

But I have a good feeling that Massachusetts is going to be feeling a lot of pressure in the coming weeks.

Yeah, for sure.

And you might remember this.

I mean, there's a there's Supreme Court precedents that is set that specifically addresses Catholic adoption agencies out of Philadelphia.

So this was a situation I think it's 2021 Supreme Court decision Fulton versus city of Philadelphia.

And the city was discriminating against this Catholic.

They call themselves the Catholic Adoption Services Association.

They would not let them participate because they would not affirm, they would not allow in same-sex couples as potential adoptees because of, again, deeply held religious beliefs of Catholics.

And eventually the SCOTUS ruled against the city.

So there is precedent here that I think works against the state of Massachusetts.

Again, they might back down before this goes further.
