In last week’s newsletter, we briefly discussed the 303 Creative Case that is currently before the Supreme Court. Here’s a refresher: Most states have a law that prohibits companies from refusing ...
This week, the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on final passage of the (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act to redefine marriage in federal law without meaningful religious liberty protections.
Marriage redefinition isn’t the only thing on the line this week. We're past the election, and this is the last hurrah for House Democrats before Republicans take the majority in January, so of course liberal members are cooking up lots of other mischief! As the House and Senate negotiate on the National Defense Authorization Act (the annual “must-pass” bill to fund the military and give raises to our men and women in uniform), several other issues are also at stake:
***forcing women to register for the Selective Service (which would be used for the draft, if and when it is reinstated);
adding an unrelated amendment to liberalize banking laws to make marijuana even more prevalent in our communities; and
adding other amendments to fund abortion travel from pro-life states and use the military as a social experiment on gender identity.
Click here to tell your representative NOT to vote to redefine marriage, and to tell your representative, your senators to insist on a “clean” National Defense bill! frc.quorum.us/campaign/41610/

Speak up now—tell your member of Congress to protect people like you who believe in one-man, one-woman marriage.
Alliance Defending Freedom has partnered with dozens of other pro-life ministries over the years to stand together in support of the unborn. One of the outcomes of the partnership is the upcoming Stand for Life Conference in Washington D.C, and we want to invite you to attend! standforlife.com/
When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, it was a historic moment for the dignity of human life. We now celebrate the tens of thousands of lives that will be saved. While we continue to pursue every opportunity to create laws in all 50 states that protect life, an equally important goal is for abortion to be unthinkable in the hearts and minds of the American people. Widespread change will only occur when we all see life, from conception to natural death, as having inherent value.
Join us for the Stand for Life Conference in Washington, D.C. January 18-19, 2023! This gathering will inspire, equip, and mobilize, a new generation of pro-lifers and breathe new life into the current pro-life movement. Use discount code ADFCA to save $14 (nearly 30% savings). standforlife.com/
Group tickets are also available at the same discounted rate.
ADF attorneys will host a breakout session and a workshop you won’t want to miss, educating participants on the legal and legislative landscape now that Roe has been overturned.
The Stand for Life Conference will feature Benjamin Watson, Nick Vujicic, Lecrae, Shane & Shane, Jamie Ivey, Lauren McAfee, and more. Attendees will leave the conference with a renewed vision for protecting and cherishing life in a post-Roe America where every human is seen as having inherent dignity and value. standforlife.com/
