The job of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is to protect Americans’ health and safety. But the FDA has betrayed this trust and has done the exact opposite by putting women and girls in harm’s way. On March 26, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Alliance Defending Freedom’s case challenging the FDA’s reckless and unlawful removal of commonsense safeguards on abortion drugs. The pro-women doctors we represent have witnessed firsthand the harm to women and girls caused by the FDA’s reckless actions. Under the FDA’s current rules, prescribers do not check women for life ...

The censorship at America’s colleges and universities must stop. And we need your support to bring First Amendment freedoms back to our nation’s campuses.

The “Equality Act” would add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as protected classes to many existing federal nondiscrimination laws. And though “nondiscrimination” sounds good in theory, that is not what this bill is truly about. The “Equality Act” is a deliberate and dangerous attempt to force people of faith to abandon their sincerely held beliefs ...

Parents have the responsibility to direct their children’s general health and well-being. And the Constitution protects the fundamental rights of parents to raise and educate their children consistent with their beliefs and values. But, unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped some government officials from trying to interfere with parental rights and undercut the important role of mothers and fathers in their children’s lives.
