Imagine feeling a conviction to adopt and care for other children—to love those who don’t even have one parent. And now imagine that your state is excluding you from adopting any child because you won’t agree to contradict your Christian beliefs— you won’t use inaccurate pronouns, take children to events like Pride parades, and facilitate a child’s access to dangerous procedures like potentially sterilizing puberty blockers. This is exactly the situation Jessica Bates faces in Oregon. Oregon officials are preventing Jessica from adopting because they disagree with her Christian beliefs—despite ...

Our culture is increasingly hostile to those of faith and common sense. Every day, Americans are losing their jobs, their businesses are threatened, and their speech is silenced. But we’re hopeful, not anxious, about the future of freedom. We have an opportunity to engage our culture, and we’re going to double down in 2024 in three key ways: countering censorship, challenging gender ideology, and securing parental rights. It’s going to take the entire alliance—including folks like you—to successfully contend for the truth. Will you step up right now with a gift of $50, $75, $100, $250, or more ...

Alliance Defending Freedom was proud to serve on the Mississippi legal team that overturned Roe. Now we’re taking the next crucial steps to advance the cause of freedom, including: Protecting the conscience rights of Americans like Minnesota pharmacist George Badeaux, who was sued because he can’t dispense a drug that may cause an abortion. George is a Christian who believes that an embryo is a new human life—he shouldn’t be forced to violate his beliefs in the workplace. Defending the right of states to enforce life-affirming laws. We’re assisting the Idaho Attorney General’s Office in ...

Our case against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will very soon be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. All Americans should be able to agree: That federal agencies must follow the law. That the FDA’s job is to ensure safety. But the FDA hasn’t followed the law—it unlawfully removed vital safety standards for the use of high-risk abortion drugs. And it isn’t keeping women and girls safe—the FDA’s own label on these drugs admit that roughly one in 25 women who take them will end up in the emergency room. Yet the FDA eliminated all in-person doctor visits to check for ectopic pregnancies ...

It’s costly to tell the truth today. It can cost you your reputation, your livelihood, and even your friends and family. But far greater is the cost of not standing up to these lies—especially in America’s schools. When the government shuts down speech, it teaches the next generation what is and isn’t acceptable to say. When the government hides critical information from parents, it drives a wedge between parents and their children—and leaves kids vulnerable to damaging lies. When the government bows to the idea that speech and ideas can be violence, it teaches our future leaders to choose ...

In Connecticut, boys who identify as female can compete in girls’ athletic events. As a result, female athletes like Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, Chelsea Mitchell, and Ashley Nicoletti have been deprived of honors and opportunities to compete at elite levels. It’s wrong. It’s not a fair playing field. And you can help do something about it. If we stand on the sidelines, women and girls—maybe even one of your loved ones—will soon be forced to become spectators in their own sports. A broad coalition of athletes, Olympians, coaches, sports officials, 23 states, and several athletic and advocacy ...

The Biden administration’s policies have put your freedoms in jeopardy. The administration is: Trying to force colleges and universities to open girls’ dorm rooms and locker rooms to males. Redefining “sex” in federal law to include “gender identity” and in doing so effectively robbing female athletes of opportunities and fairness in women’s sports, undermining parents’ rights to teach their children about sex, and violating the freedoms of speech and religion by compelling “preferred pronouns” in violation of free speech—and truth. Working to expand abortion access through chemical abortion ...
