Attorney Philip L. Ellison's Statement on the Sixth Circuit's Decision on Michigan's Newborn Screening Program

The Sixth Circuit’s ruling is a profound rejection of the rights of parents to make serious decisions about their own children's medical tests and extracted medical data. The decision vacating Judge Ludington's well-reasoned decision after a five-day trial places decision-making solely in the unaccountable hands of bureaucrats instead of moms and dads - and that is wrong. Our law office will vigorously pursue an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. This constitutional challenge will continue and I stand resolute in defending the rights of all parents everywhere.
