Alliance Defending Freedom is one of the leading organizations fighting to defend these […]
The Dangerous Drop in U.S. Births
The birth rate in the United States has now dropped beneath replacement rate, meaning more Americans are dying than are being born. This drop could have disastrous effects for our country, and some experts argue that it stems from a profound shift in society’s attitude towards family life and children.

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v.
