Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the abortion lobby has been hard at work to deceive Americans about abortion. They want the nation to embrace the destructive lies that women never regret choosing abortion over life, and that women could be prosecuted for seeking treatment for ectopic pregnancies and other life-threatening conditions. Pro-abortion activists want you to believe that abortion is good for women. But this could not be further from the truth. We know some pregnant women face very difficult circumstances—and they deserve better options than abortion. Abortion comes with a high risk ...

The censorship at America’s colleges and universities must stop. And we need your support to bring First Amendment freedoms back to our nation’s campuses. A university is supposed to be a “marketplace” for ideas. Unfortunately, more and more college campuses are silencing students through discriminatory policies, speech codes, and even no-contact orders. Maggie DeJong’s story is case in point. As a graduate student in art therapy counseling at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), Maggie wanted an education that would make her the best counselor she could be. Just like many of her ...

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 ...

It all began when Bank of America, one of the world’s largest banks sent abrupt notices to a Memphis-based church and Indigenous Advance, one of its ministry partners. The bank said they were closing their accounts and even the ministry’s credit cards. And they both had only 30 days to switch to a new bank. Bank of America didn’t even give a specific reason. All it said was that it simply no longer wanted to serve the ministries’ “business type” and that Indigenous Advance has exceeded the banks “risk tolerance.” But Indigenous Advance isn’t ideological or partisan. And it’s had the same ...

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 ...

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 Deb Figliola, a teacher in Harrisonburg, Virginia, was asked to lie to parents about their own children, she knew she had to stand for what’s right. She just could not deceive parents about her students. Deb teaches special education and English to middle schoolers who are reading and writing significantly below their level. And she absolutely loves what she does. But after the Harrisonburg City Public School Board instituted a new policy that upended parents’ right to direct the upbringing of their children, she knew she had to challenge the board’s violations of parents’ rights ...

Help ADF defend them and others standing for free speech! Jacksonville, FL-based Queen of Angels Catholic Bookstore and owner Christie DeTrude simply strive to honor God and wish to promote their beliefs, including through the store’s website and YouTube channel. The bookstore joyfully serves all people, and sells its products to anyone, but Christie and her employees cannot speak a message they disagree with. An outrageous Jacksonville law is compelling businesses to speak inconsistent with their beliefs by promoting government-approved ideologies—or face devastating fines. Like far too many ...
