Sanctity of Life

Each human being is made in the image of God. Every life is precious, every life has a purpose, and every life is worth defending. Whether it’s the unborn baby, the pregnant mother, the child in foster care, or the elderly hospice patient, the government should ensure that everyone is free to live out their God-given purpose.

Alliance Defending Freedom works alongside millions of other pro-life Americans to ensure that life is protected. Life is a human right, and it must be safeguarded.

We defend life-affirming laws supporting women and protecting their unborn children. Life begins at conception, and states have a compelling interest in protecting unborn babies at every stage of development.

We stand against assisted suicide. Activists brand this disturbing practice as “death with dignity,” but the truth is that assisted suicide targets the sick and vulnerable. The lives of the elderly, the terminally ill, and the disabled deserve a defense. 

We support organizations that provide care for new mothers and their children, defending the rights of these ministries to operate according to their beliefs and free from government harassment.

The first word in our name—alliance—is purposeful. ADF partners with likeminded organizations, policymakers, and front-line advocates to strengthen the pro-life alliance.

• We don’t just talk. We win. ADF has won nearly 80% of our cases, and our attorneys even served on the Mississippi legal team that overturned Roe v. Wade. 
• We tirelessly defend those on the front lines: sidewalk counselors, pregnancy centers, and others. 
• We equip an alliance to advocate for life in communities across the country.
