ACLJ Mandate Scorecard: 7-0 in Preliminary Injunction Wins
Just over one year ago, the ACLJ filed the first lawsuit against the HHS Mandate on behalf of a for-profit employer, Frank O’Brien and O’Brien Industrial Holdings. As you know, the Mandate requires many employers to provide coverage of abortion-inducing drugs, contraception, sterilization, and related education and counseling in their employee health plans, with no religious exemption or accommodation for business owners who believe that providing such coverage is immoral.

2012 Victories: State Hospitals Can’t Force Nurses to Abort Children
This is the latest installment in a year-end series looking back at a few of the hundreds of victories by the ACLJ in 2012. Nurses who had a passion for working in Labor & Delivery, helping women and newborn babies receive lifesaving care, at one West Coast hospital were told by their newly appointed pro-abortion lead doctor that they would have to be willing to commit abortions in order to continue helping deliver and care for babies. Imagine your calling is to help babies be born and you ... Continue Reading

2012 Victories: Sonogram Law Upheld, Saves Lives
This is the latest installment in a year-end series looking back at a few of the hundreds of victories by the ACLJ in 2012. One of the most important weapons in the fight to protect the lives of unborn children is information. For an unborn baby, knowledge is power – the mother’s knowledge that the baby is and looks like a small human being. This knowledge is so powerful that pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood focus much of their efforts to prevent women from experiencing t... Continue Reading

The fact is Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America, committing about 330,000 abortions a year, according to their own reports. The actual totals could be far higher especially since they do not report abortions caused by the 1.4 million abortion pills they dispense each year. Yet, in a recent survey of young adults (18-24 year-olds) by Students for Life of America, 48% sai... Continue Reading

Mother Teresa’s Defense of the Unborn at the U.S. Supreme Court
Many know of the incalculable work that Mother Teresa did for the poor and destitute children of Calcutta, but her tireless work defending the defenseless in society did not stop with those who have been born, but extended to the unborn. She fought equally as hard for unborn children around the world, fighting the evil of abortion. In 1994, Mother Teresa filed an amicus brief with the United States Supreme Court in the case of Loce v. New Jersey. In that case, individuals who were convicted of ... Continue Reading
