Mainstream media and pro-abortion forces have not been honest about the dangers of abortion drugs. Women and girls across the country have suffered serious, even life-threatening, complications such as severe bleeding, infections, or sepsis because the FDA stopped requiring doctors to provide vital in-person exams to women using these high-risk drugs. The truth is, according to the FDA’s own label, one in 25 women who take abortion drugs will end up in the emergency room. This issue can be challenging for Americans to discuss. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short ...

Our culture lies to pregnant women, and tells them that abortion is “health care,” that it’s a simple, painless procedure. In truth, abortion destroys innocent life and often leaves women struggling with significant physical and psychological pain. Alliance Defending Freedom is the world's largest legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, the sanctity of life, parental rights, and God's design for marriage and family. When it comes to these issues, we aren’t on the sidelines—we're in the action achieving significant victories for freedom. We were honored to ...

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” -Proverbs 22:6 Scripture makes it clear—parents have the responsibility, given by God, 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. In one of the most egregious examples of this, school districts across the country are advancing harmful gender ideology in the classroom, facilitating secret “transitions” of children and treating students as if they were the ...

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 ...

Free speech is under threat in America. Lydia Booth, a brave Mississippi 3rd grader was silenced by her school for wearing her “Jesus Loves Me” mask. Though we won the case and the school dropped the policy, this is far from the only important free speech case. When you support Alliance Defending Freedom’s effort to protect speech, it’s not just for our courageous clients. It’s YOUR rights that are at stake as well. Can the government fire you for your comments it doesn’t like that you posted on a personal blog? They did that to volunteer fire chaplain Dr. Andrew Fox. Can activists or ...

Free speech platform “X” was just banned by the Brazilian government. That means it’s illegal for Brazilian citizens to use the social media platform, which is owned by Elon Musk. Even more, Brazilians can be subject to nearly $9,000 fines if they attempt to continue using “X” via a virtual private network (VPN). This is a blatant violation of Brazilians’ freedom of speech. And it creates a dire situation for human rights in a critical nation in the region. The ruling follows years of the government systematically targeting its own citizens—oftentimes, conservative voices—for what they say ...
