Tens of thousands of children throughout the country need loving and stable families.

This is a landmark victory upholding the First Amendment’s promise of free speech to all Americans. Colorado can no longer misuse the law to coerce or silence speech. The Supreme Court made clear that the First Amendment prevents the government from forcing Americans to say things they don’t believe.
