The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Litigation Counsel Catherine Glenn Foster regarding the Obama administration’s decision to drop its opposition to a judge’s order in Tummino v. Hamburg that makes the Plan B abortion-inducing drug available over the counter to young girls without a prescription and without parental notice or consent: “The lives and health of young girls should be more important than the bottom line of those who sell abortion-inducing drugs. President Obama has yet again sided with Planned Parenthood, his favorite political ally and the single ...

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Austin R. Nimocks regarding the California Supreme Court’s decision Wednesday in Hollingsworth v. O’Connell to deny the petition to uphold the state’s voter-approved marriage amendment: “Elected officials should enforce the law.

It is unfortunate that the California Supreme Court chose not to decide the important, still-unresolved questions about the ...

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Austin R. Nimocks regarding the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday to strike down the federal Defense of Marriage Act in United States v.

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Litigation Counsel Christiana Holcomb regarding the unsupported claim that the city of Houston is “backing off” or “narrowing” its subpoena request for the sermons and communications of pastors in Woodfill v. Parker: “The shame that the city of Houston has brought upon itself is real, but the claim that it has changed course is not. The city so far has taken no concrete action to withdraw the subpoenas. Furthermore, the subpoenas themselves are the problem – not just their request for pastors’ sermons. The city is not off the ...

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Jim Campbell regarding a determination by the director of the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights that a Christian ministry engaged in “wrongdoing” for abiding by its faith: “The government should not be able to force a Christian organization to use its property in a way that would violate its own religious beliefs. Both the U.S. and New Jersey constitutions protect the freedom of faith-based groups to use their property in a manner consistent with those beliefs. That freedom trumps any state law that conflicts ...
