What is happening? At a time when the need to provide children with a stable and loving home is at a point of “crisis,” many states are forcing adoptive parents to pass an ideological litmus test to qualify. In some states, if the parents aren’t willing to push the government’s message on sexuality and gender, they can’t adopt. Simply put: government officials and policies are actively discriminating against Americans of faith—prioritizing ideology over the needs of kids. That’s cruel, it harms children, and it’s unconstitutional. Who is harmed? Nearly 400,000 children are currently in the ...

But don’t educators and students have the right to live and speak the truth—without fear of punishment? Or do ...

Make no mistake: New York’s new censorship law targets constitutionally protected speech on social media networks. But this attack on free speech is nothing new. We’ve seen countless forms of censorship from government officials, social media platforms, and even financial institutions. But now, satirical websites like The Babylon Bee face the risk of humorless state officials depriving them of their First Amendment freedoms. At ADF, we believe that all Americans are free to peacefully express their point of view, and that includes humor and sarcasm. Further, we believe that our freedoms don’t ...

When the government discriminates against foster/adoptive parents based on their religious beliefs, children are harmed. These kids need a forever home—not political ideology. Christians and the church have been key to providing resources and open arms to vulnerable children for hundreds of years. The earliest orphanages in North America were created by dedicated Christian groups, and these faithful people continue to lead the way today. Yet, some state officials now reject Christian and other religious families—forcing children to wait longer for a loving home—because they disagree with the ...

When Elizabeth faced an unexpected pregnancy shortly after graduating college, she didn’t know where to turn. Although she was unsure about pursuing abortion, her boyfriend at the time wanted her to go to Planned Parenthood—and soon she found herself being coerced to take abortion drugs. Elizabeth was assured that when she took the drugs, all she would experience would be “light cramping,” and that she would be “back to work on Monday.” But this is a far cry from what Elizabeth went through. Elizabeth was abandoned when she was most in need. No one told her about the pain she would go through ...

School is back in session and parents need to know what’s happening in their child’s school. Are they being exposed to inappropriate materials on sexuality and gender? Do parents have the option to opt their kids out of such curriculum? Does the school have a secret policy to “transition” confused students without the knowledge or consent of their parents? Activists promoting harmful gender ideology are putting the health and innocence of children at risk. But many parents aren’t sure what do to protect their children. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short, free guide to ...
