Novel. Unprecedented. Staggering. These words have all been used to describe a federal appeals court decision that said Colorado officials can force artist Lorie Smith to create custom designs and promote messages that violate her beliefs. Lorie left the corporate design world to start her own design studio, 303 Creative, in 2012 so she could promote causes consistent with her beliefs and close to her heart, such as supporting children with disabilities, the beauty of marriage, overseas missions, animal shelters, and veterans. She was excited to expand her portfolio to create websites that ...

Hi, my name is Maggie DeJong, and as a former client of Alliance Defending Freedom, I wanted to personally thank you for your support and prayers. When I was in graduate school, my university tried to silence and punish me for sharing my beliefs. I knew this was wrong. And I didn’t want what happened to me to happen to anyone else. So, I reached out to ADF, and because of your generosity, they were able to defend me. And I won. Now, the university has revised its policies to provide more protections for students. And officials in my program have undergone ADF-provided First Amendment training ...

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’ ...

We're in a new stage in the fight for life. With Roe v. Wade out of the way, state and federal lawmakers are now empowered to protect life, but there is growing opposition to defending women and their unborn children. And there’s still so much work to do. Your gift to Alliance Defending Freedom today will help: Stand up to the Biden administration’s unlawful actions and defend states’ pro-life laws. The Biden administration is manipulating federal law to try to override Idaho’s Defense of Life Act and force emergency room doctors to perform abortions. Idaho’s law protects the lives of women ...

To: International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach and the IOC Executive Board Men and women are different. Their physical differences give men athletic advantages in sports. Scientific research continues to acknowledge this reality. However, governments and organizational bodies like the IOC have adopted policies that allow males who identify as female to compete in women’s sports. These policies prioritize feelings over fairness—ideology over truth. As an organization governing athletics, the IOC must be held accountable for the many harms caused by allowing men to compete in ...

Parents who want to adopt shouldn’t face discrimination for their deeply held Christian beliefs. They shouldn’t be denied access to available government opportunities because of their faith. Yet that’s precisely what’s happening to Jessica Bates—a mother of five who is seeking to adopt and care for a sibling pair. Oregon is flat-out rejecting Jessica’s application for failing to “meet the adoption home standards.” In other words, she won’t tell boys they can be girls and girls they can be boys, take children to events like Pride parades, or facilitate a child’s access to potentially ...

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 ...

It’s time to take a stand. What happened to Peter Vlaming boggles the mind. Peter was fired from his job as French teacher at West Point High School in Virginia. Not for something he said or did. But for something he simply could not say. That’s wrong. And we need to send a message that government officials must respect free speech. With your help we hope to reach 50,000 signatures! School administrators demanded that Peter, a Christian, use male pronouns when referring to a female student who began identifying as a boy, even when the student’s chosen name would be just as polite to use. Peter ...
