This is concerning. The abortion-pill mandate is back. Even after defeating it – TWICE – at the Supreme Court, Americans who object to abortions could still be forced to facilitate the provision of abortion-pills anyway. How is this even possible? After we helped defeat the Obama-era abortion-pill mandate in multiple cases, the Trump Administration implemented a new rule providing religious and moral protections against it. But two pro-abortion-run states filed a lawsuit, and a federal court... read more
American Pastor Bryan Nerren – a U.S. citizen – has been arrested and detained in India because of his Christian faith. After more than 17 years ministering to the people of Nepal and India – training Sunday School teachers – he was stopped on his way to a conference in India. He was questioned about his Christian faith and whether funds he was carrying would be used to support any Christian work; he was subsequently arrested and has been detained in India since October 5, 2019. Now he is... read more
The Left is criminalizing the execution of the U.S. Constitution. The Deep State is undermining the rule of law and the conservative agenda. This is a constitutional moment for the American people. It’s a really big deal. It puts our republic at risk. Nearly every day there is a new leak, a new fake accusation, a new attempt to stop the President from doing his job, a new attempt to push the same false narrative on the American people. What we’re seeing today is, without a doubt, the shredding... read more
The state of New York passed one of the most barbaric abortion laws in U.S. history, essentially making it legal to abort a baby at any stage of pregnancy, up to the moment of birth. Now, this horrific expansion of abortion is spreading internationally. Laws are being proposed worldwide to expand abortion to the moment of birth and to undo conscience protections for medical professionals and those who are saving lives. These New York-style barbaric abortion bills would add nations like New... read more
Churches and religious charities are pressured – sometimes even forced – to disregard their faith by the government. Christian schools are being barred from public funding on the basis of their religious beliefs. The right to hire individuals who share a church or a charity’s faith and the right to free exercise of their religious mission are two of the most important rights a religious organization possesses. Federal law and the Constitution protect the rights of churches and religious... read more
Imagine being targeted by the government for saying "Jesus loves you." It sounds shocking, but it's happening in America right now. We’re taking legal action to fight back. A Virginia state agency has targeted, harassed, and discriminated against a Christian realtor just for putting a Bible verse (John 3:16) on her website and including "Jesus loves you" in her email signature. No one should be targeted by government agencies for expressing their Christian faith. Targeted harassment and... read more
Pro-life doctors and nurses are pressured and even forced into assisting in abortions. Pharmacists are targeted for refusing to dispense abortion pills. The right of conscience – the right not to violate one’s faith – is one of the most sacred rights we all possess. Federal laws protect medical professionals and religious hospitals from being forced to violate their faith – from being forced to perform, promote, or be involved in abortions. But many times these federal laws are ignored or... read more
The abortion industry is not only killing innocent babies, it’s unconstitutionally silencing lifesaving speech. The abortion lobby has found a way to manipulate the law, making it illegal to try to save babies’ lives outside Planned Parenthood or other abortion clinics. They’re called “bubble zones.” And they target and ban one-on-one pro-life speech – sidewalk counseling – within a certain distance from abortion clinics. These laws are unconstitutional. Yet a dangerous decision from the... read more
Nearly a million babies are killed every year through abortions. Their precious heartbeats are stopped in devastating ways. Some states are expanding abortion all the way until a baby’s first breath; others are promoting infanticide. But many states are passing vital pro-life laws to protect babies. Some ban abortion as soon as a heartbeat can be detected. At the ACLJ, our legal teams have been working with state legislatures to craft these bills that will help save countless unborn babies’ read more
ObamaCare is unconstitutional. We’ve been saying it for almost a decade. But now a federal judge has just ruled that the behemoth pro-abortion government takeover of healthcare is unconstitutional and must be struck down. We know that ObamaCare is the Left’s first step toward single-payer, socialist healthcare. With the Green New Deal, the radical Left has already made it clear that single payer is step two. But now we have one last chance to end ObamaCare in the courts. The case has been... read more
