Our case against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will very soon be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. All Americans should be able to agree: That federal agencies must follow the law. That the FDA’s job is to ensure safety. But the FDA hasn’t followed the law—it unlawfully removed vital safety standards for the use of high-risk abortion drugs. And it isn’t keeping women and girls safe—the FDA’s own label on these drugs admit that roughly one in 25 women who take them will end up in the emergency room. Yet the FDA eliminated all in-person doctor visits to check for ectopic pregnancies ...

We’re representing pro-women doctors who have witnessed firsthand the harm to women and girls caused by what the FDA has done. Will you stand with Alliance Defending Freedom and these ...

Now there’s no doubt. Detailed information released this week by the U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government makes plain that the Biden administration has been partnering with major banks and payment processors to censor non-profit ministries and threaten the freedom of everyday Americans. And now, the subcommittee has revealed that the government has targeted Alliance Defending Freedom. We’ve been unlawfully swept up in the federal government’s “domestic terrorist” dragnet.

When Hamouda became a Christian, he faced immense opposition. His wife, Nada, was still Muslim at the time, and her family was shocked. When Hamouda converted to Christianity, Nada’s family applied immense pressure for her and their children to abandon Hamouda and return to live with her family. In Sudan, the Sharia court dissolved their marriage, deeming it unlawful for a Muslim woman to be married to a Christian man. But by God’s providence, Nada later became a Christian, too—and reunited with her husband. The prosecutors wanted to charge them with apostasy—the “crime” of converting from ...
