Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to another episode of Boom Lawyer, a rewire.

Dot News podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that has a head cold.

At least I do.

I'm I'm Imani Gandhi.

And I'm Jess Piclo. Rewire.com is dedicated to bringing you the best

reproductive rights and social justice news, commentary, and analysis on the web. And the team

legal podcast is part of that mission. So a big thank you to our subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners.

So the Trump administration is looking to let evangelical adoption and foster care

agencies refuse to place children in LGBTQ or non-Christian families. Non-Christian meaning they

won't place children with Jewish families, with Muslim families, and with any other host of

religions that people celebrate or practice. In this episode, we're going to tell you about

these efforts and who is behind them. We're going to talk about which states are chomping at

the bit in order to let this discrimination against LGBTQ people and non-Christian families happen

and how the notorious RBG herself predicted this entire mess way back in the Hobby Lobby days,

like back in the day when Jess and I were cutting our teeth on all this nonsense.

Okay, so let's give you folks some background on what's going on here.

The Washington Post reported recently that the Trump administration has approved a waiver

for a federally funded South Carolina child placement agency that would allow it to refuse

to place kids with LGBTQ families in families that were not Christian.

So this is about Miracle Hills Ministry, a Christian foster care agency that turned away a Jewish woman from fostering a child because as a Jew, she did not share the ministry's beliefs.

Wait, what?
