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 unenforced. Planned Parenthood even absurdly calls “religion . . . an excuse.” The Constitution calls it a right.
At the ACLJ, we’re constantly defending doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals from being forced to violate their faith. We filed formal public comments supporting a new federal rule ensuring that conscience rights will be protected and that entities that force medical professionals to perform or assist in abortions will lose federal taxpayer funding.
But now the radical Left and the abortion industry are filing lawsuits to overturn this rule. We’re preparing to take legal action in court to defend pro-life doctors and nurses. Take action with us.
The government of California apparently prides itself on being pro-abortion. They filed a brief opposing even the modest regulation of abortion at issue in the current Supreme Court case of June Medical Services v. Gee (we filed a brief of our own exposing the dangers of abortion ). They tried...
From the beginning of his Presidency, President Trump has committed his Administration to protecting life.

Last week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear two critical cases involving conscience rights and the Abortion-Pill Mandate: Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania and Trump v. Pennsylvania . The Court will now decide, once and for all , whether employers, such as the Little Sisters of the Poor,
ACLJ petitions aren’t merely names on a page but powerful tools used with governments, the media, and courts to focus attention on injustice and create real-world change. Here's how:
First, we can directly and immediately alert individual Members of Congress and other government officials of the size and scope of the public support for our initiatives. Unlike, say, White House petitions – which at best generate a response from low-level staffers – our most successful petitions have generated direct White House, State Department, and congressional responses at the highest level.
Second, we alert members of the media and can help drive national news stories as petition signatures grow.
Third, petitions not only influence foreign governments, they can provide aid and comfort to persecuted people abroad.
Finally, you can directly participate in the most critical court battles of our time. Your signature - your voice - can be represented in briefs to the Supreme Court and to federal courts across America.
