Government officials are showing open hostility towards people for their religious beliefs. In February, Arizona’s Washington Elementary School District board voted unanimously to sever its 11-year partnership with Arizona Christian University (ACU), which had allowed student teachers and practicum students to gain valuable classroom experience, while providing a stable source of quality teachers for the district’s elementary schools. In severing the partnership, the school board cited zero complaints about ACU students or alumni, and administrators in the district had even asked for more ...

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 ...

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 ...

If you stand with us, you help ...

As a mother of five, Jessica knows what it’s like to provide a loving home. And as a widow, she knows what it’s like to lose a part of your family. So after hearing about another person’s adoption story, she felt inspired to make a happy home for children in need in the state of Oregon. But in Oregon, parents like Jessica must agree to use a child’s preferred pronouns, take children to LGBT-affirming events like Pride parades, and facilitate a child’s access to dangerous pharmaceutical interventions like puberty blockers and hormone shots that can sterilize a young child. The Oregon Department ...

What would happen to faith-based nonprofits like pregnancy resource centers or homeless shelters if the government stopped them from hiring only employees who agreed with and lived out the organization’s values? According to two U.S. Supreme Court justices, “many non-profits would be extinguished from participation in public life.” But a Washington state employment law is being used to threaten the work of religious ministries. In 2021, the Washington Supreme Court ruled that religious organizations could be forced to hire people who disagree with, and refuse to live out, the ministries’ ...
