The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), mainstream media, and pro-abortion forces have not been honest about the dangers of abortion drugs and how the FDA has put women and girls at risk by removing important safety standards. Are abortion drugs safe and effective, as the FDA claims? Was the removal of safety standards a science-based decision? Are abortion drugs just a basic part of reproductive care? Finding truthful answers to those questions can be difficult, and this issue can be challenging for Americans to discuss. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short, accessible ...

Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys are defending the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) and two pregnancy centers challenging Vermont state officials for unconstitutionally restricting the centers’ speech and provision of services. But pregnancy resource centers across the state of Vermont—those like Branches—find themselves stifled after the state passed a law impeding the ability of pro-life pregnancy centers to continue providing help and support to Vermont women and families. The law censors the centers’ ability to advertise their services. It also impedes their ...

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 ...

Three decades ago, 30 Christian leaders saw a need to combat the decades-long efforts of activists and government officials to drive expressions of faith out of the public square. Others said it was too late, that the culture had already been lost. But these determined Christian leaders stepped out in faith and founded Alliance Defending Freedom to protect God-given freedoms in the courts and to recruit and train attorneys dedicated to that mission. Today, by God’s grace, we stand as the world’s largest legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, the sanctity of ...

The Biden administration is wreaking havoc on Title IX. Title IX was passed in 1972 to protect equal opportunities for women, not harm them. Now, the administration has issued a radical change that redefines “sex” in federal law to include “gender identity.” This means that “sex,” under federal law, would be based on how someone identifies, not biological reality. These changes gut equal opportunities for women, erode student privacy, and threaten women’s sports and safety. The Biden administration claims that this radical change won’t affect women’s opportunities. But the government can’t ...

When Hamouda became a Christian, he faced immense opposition. His wife, Nada, was still Muslim at the time, and her family was shocked. When Hamouda converted to Christianity, Nada’s family applied immense pressure for her and their children to abandon Hamouda and return to live with her family. In Sudan, the Sharia court dissolved their marriage, deeming it unlawful for a Muslim woman to be married to a Christian man. But by God’s providence, Nada later became a Christian, too—and reunited with her husband. The prosecutors wanted to charge them with apostasy—the “crime” of converting from ...

Parents have the responsibility to direct their children’s upbringing. But today, tragically, some government officials are intentionally undercutting the important role of mothers and fathers in their children’s lives. And in one of the most egregious examples of this, there are school districts across the country that advance the idea that gender is socially constructed and that it can be chosen and changed. This flatly contradicts the Bible’s teaching and obvious biological truth. This lie is causing real-world harm, as school districts enable and sometimes coerce teachers and school ...

Parents have the responsibility to direct their children’s general health and well-being. And the Constitution protects the fundamental rights of parents to raise and educate their children consistent with their beliefs and values. But, unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped some government officials from trying to interfere with parental rights and undercut the important role of mothers and fathers in their children’s lives. For example, more and more school districts are ignoring parents’ instructions and even concealing information about their children’s education on critical issues like sex ...
