The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Chris Schandevel regarding the Iowa Supreme Court’s deadlocked order Friday in Planned Parenthood of the Heartland v. Reynolds. That result, with the justices split 3-3 on how to resolve the case, leaves in place a lower state court’s 2019 injunction that is preventing Iowa’s fetal heartbeat law from taking effect: “States have the strongest possible interest in protecting the most fundamental of our human rights—the right to life. Iowans are eager to affirm that life is a human right, which is why the ...

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 ...

What is happening? At a time when the need to provide children with a stable and loving home is at a point of “crisis,” many states are forcing adoptive parents to pass an ideological litmus test to qualify. In some states, if the parents aren’t willing to push the government’s message on sexuality and gender, they can’t adopt. Simply put: government officials and policies are actively discriminating against Americans of faith—prioritizing ideology over the needs of kids. That’s cruel, it harms children, and it’s unconstitutional. Who is harmed? Nearly 400,000 children are currently in the ...

When Assistant Principal Emily Mais merely questioned the CRT-inspired curriculum that her school was forcing on students, she was ostracized, harassed, shamed, and even called racist. She saw that the “anti-racist” teaching training was actually directing teachers to be racist in seeing their students as members of groups, based on skin color, and treating them differently based on their race. The work environment got so bad that Emily was eventually forced to resign. With her Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, Emily has sued the school district, which violated her constitutionally ...

Seventh-grader Liam Morrison wanted to participate in the national conversation about sex and gender. That’s his right as an American. Unfortunately, his Massachusetts school only allowed for one opinion—theirs. So when Liam wore a shirt to school that said “There are only two genders,” school officials pulled him from class and told him to take it off or be sent home. He bravely stood up to the unlawful demands, and now attorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom are suing to protect his right to speak without fear of government punishment. But he’s far from the only American who is facing ...
