ADF commends Trump executive order protecting religious freedom for all
The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO, President, and General Counsel Kristen Waggoner regarding an executive order President Donald Trump issued Thursday called “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias:”
“Examples of government anti-Christian bias are all too common, from foster parents barred from providing loving homes to children in need due to their faith, to targeted overregulation of ministries and the weaponization of the FACE Act against pro-life advocates. These actions not only violate constitutional protections but also erode the foundational principle of religious liberty in America. This order is important because it exposes the Biden administration’s deliberate targeting of Christian beliefs through discriminatory policies—beliefs shared by many other religions. No one should be threatened or harassed for publicly expressing or living out their faith. Alliance Defending Freedom will continue to protect every American’s fundamental right to religious freedom and to defend victims of religious persecution around the world.”
Alliance Defending Freedom is an alliance-building, non-profit legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.
