Guarding the Sanctity of Human Life

All human life is sacred – from conception to death.

However, today we are confronted by a culture that does not hold human life as sacred, but rather, as disposable. This mindset has led to court-imposed abortion on demand, efforts to legalize assisted suicide, and more. As a result, human life is cheapened, and countless precious lives are terminated – often inside the womb.

Since 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court fabricated in Roe v. Wade that there was a constitutional "right" to abortion, it is estimated that more than 49 million pre-born children have died brutal abortion deaths in the United States – more than nearly the combined populations of California, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona.

Restoring Life to its Proper Place

It took years of calculated lawsuits by the proponents of a culture of death before Roe v. Wade was won, and it may take years of fighting back until this ungodly precedent is overruled. The Alliance Defense Fund is committed to defending the defenseless and restoring the sanctity of human life – one case at a time.

Together, with an alliance of nearly 2,100 attorneys across America, ADF is actively working on virtually every legal front to ensure that God's plan for life prevails. To make the greatest impact, ADF is focusing its legal efforts on:

• Saving the lives of pre-born children who would otherwise be aborted
• Protecting laws that ensure that women considering an abortion know the serious health risks and understand the risk of devastating psychological and emotional impacts from this life-taking decision
• Ensuring that your tax dollars won't be spent to fund abortions
• Defending rights of conscience in the workplace, so that pharmacists, nurses, and doctors cannot be forced to assist in the taking of innocent life against their beliefs
• Protecting the disabled and terminally ill from euthanasia
• Preserving preborn lives that would otherwise be taken to be used for "research" or "family planning" methods
• Protecting the free speech rights of advocates for life, so they can freely share their pro-life beliefs and the truth about abortion

Protecting Life with Your Support

Because of the sacrificial gifts from Christians like you, ADF is able to fund lawsuits and litigate cases that will set legal precedents for the protection of life. And by God's grace, we are winning three out of four cases litigated to completion. This will be a long battle that could take decades to win, but ADF is committed to reforming the law so that all human life will be respected and protected from conception to death. That is why ADF constantly strategizes with its allies, and trains hundreds of new allied attorneys through the ADF Legal Academy and Christian law students through its Blackstone Legal Fellowship – so that we are prepared to carry this critical fight far into the future.

Every day and every life counts. You have an opportunity to make an eternal difference – maybe a life-saving difference – today. By giving your sacrificial gift, you, too, can help protect the precious lives of God's children – young and old.
