The South Carolina Governor's Office is touting what they feel are major court victories for religious liberty.
In two separate cases, the U.S. District Court of South Carolina has upheld the state's right to partner with faith based foster care organizations.
A federal judge ruled in favor of the state on Friday. The decision upholds an Executive Order issued by Governor McMaster in 2018 to protect the religious freedom of foster agencies around the state.
McMaster said " "These two rulings from the U.S. District Court represent significant wins for religious liberty and South Carolina's faith-based organizations .These victories will directly benefit countless children by further ensuring that faith-based organizations will not be forced to abandon their beliefs to help provide critical services to our state's youth."
