Alliance Defending Freedom

ADF has been blessed with the opportunity to argue not one but two cases at the Supreme Court this year. 1?? April 2, 2025 (Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic): ADF will be representing South Carolina against Planned Parenthood defending the state’s freedom to defund this dangerous abortion giant. States should be free to fund real, comprehensive care and exclude organizations like Planned Parenthood—whose primary business is abortion—from public funding. 2?? April 30, 2025 (Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond) Oklahoma's Attorney General is seeking to cancel the Statewide Charter School contract entered with St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School solely because it is Catholic. St. Isidore welcomes all students, no matter their religious beliefs, and students go there only if their parents choose it. Additionally, we still have five cases pending cert grant before the U.S. Supreme Court this year: ??? First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin ??? Chiles v. Salazar ??? L.M. v. Town of Middleborough ??? B.P.J. v. West Virginia State Board of Education ??? Hecox v. Little Please pray for our clients and our attorney teams arguing and preparing for these important cases.

Children who are looking for answers to deeply personal questions should be permitted to explore their thoughts with a private counselor. Unfortunatley, there are local governments who have adopted ordinances—which they misleadingly call conversion therapy bans—that prohibit voluntary conversations between counselors and minors that aim to help the client embrace his or her biological sex. Many European countries once pioneered using puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and permanent surgeries on children who identified as the opposite sex. But now, those countries have pulled back and restricted minors’ access based on safety and efficacy concerns. You can find more commentary on this below written ?? by Missouri AG Andrew Bailey and ADF's Bryan Neihart. https://bit.ly/4hYmSeX
