CBS: In Minnesota, for instance, a sixth grader at Nova Classical Academy was one of several students handing out pro-life fliers to other students during their lunch break. They weren’t making a big deal about it, or forcing the fliers on students who didn’t express an interest. This is just an issue these students care about. (One flier read, “Save the baby humans. Stop abortion.”) A few days later, the students were called into the school director’s office . . .

Baptist Press: Alan Sears, president of Alliance Defending Freedom, noted that a key benefit of ADF’s involvement in helping defend religious freedom overseas is “the crucial perspective it gives us” for defending legal rights in America.”

TylerPaper.com: Alan Sears, president, CEO and general counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom (formerly Alliance Defense Fund), will speak at the “Breakfast of Champions: Leadership Lessons for Men” from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. May 3 at Green Acres Baptist Church . . . “What I’m going to do during my time with you is talk about some of the severe challenges that we face as Americans, as followers of Christ, and what the impact will be in shaping what tomorrow looks like in America,” Sears said in a release about the event. “But I’m also going to give you some really good news. I’m going to talk about some of the incredible victories that God has given in areas where no one thought a year or two, or five years ago, that it was possible to have any success.”

UTSanDiego.com: “Her unwavering faith and perseverance was an example to many,” said Alan Sears, CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom, in an article on christianpost.com. “She loved God, was a pillar of strength for her husband and had an immense impact, including upon those of us who have worked closely with the Garlows in support of religious freedom.”

Alan Sears at Townhall: The Play’s the Thing
Whatever you do, be cool,” the kids tell themselves, and each other—just as we told ourselves, and our peers, at that age. You can’t be cool if you stand out from the crowd. Rule No. 1 for being cool is: blend in. Makes it hard to teach showmanship. Or courage, for that matter.

NRB: Our hearts join Jim’s and the tremendous number of others who are mourning the death of Carol Garlow,” commented Alliance Defending Freedom President, CEO, and General Counsel Alan Sears. “Her unwavering faith and perseverance was an example to many. She loved God, was a pillar of strength for her husband, and had an immense impact, including upon those of us who have worked closely with the Garlows in support of religious freedom. Our prayers are with Jim and the entire Garlow family.”

Alan Sears at NC Register: Over the past few decades, attempts to limit religious freedom in the public square have expanded into what is nearing a hostile exile.

Alan Sears at Alliance Defending Freedom: This week’s deadline for filing your 2012 U.S. income taxes is a good reminder that many organizations you care about depend on Alliance Defending Freedom to defend their tax credits and tax-exempt status. Just this month, we’ve intervened in two cases to protect your religious freedom from groups like the American Civil Liberties Union, who once again are proving that their idea of liberty does not include parents deciding where their children are educated.

Alan Sears at the Christian Post: The fight to preserve the sanctity of life in America requires tireless prayer, vigilance, and determination – and, more and more, that your Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys take on the formidable legal and political juggernaut that is Planned Parenthood.

Alan Sears at Alliance Defending Freedom: One of the quieter – though equally intense – battles for religious freedom in America is being fought almost daily on behalf of young school children. This week, two cases from two different parts of the country spotlight the obstacles being placed before people of faith, like you, who want nothing more than to select a school that best meets the needs of their children and grandchildren.

Alan Sears at Alliance Defending Freedom: This week, and for the next several weeks, I’d like to ask you and your family to be in particular, faithful, fervent prayer for the future of your nation and for the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court as they rule on two major cases related to the legal definition of marriage in America.

Alan Sears at Alliance Defending Freedom: The dangers posed more and more across America to the First Amendment protections of Christians like you – and your children – often show themselves in subtle ways. A small legal bias here, an evasion of religious freedom there, and those who would sideline people of faith gain one more crucial foothold of legal ground they can use to block the spread of the Gospel.

Florida Baptist Witness: Alan Sears, president of Alliance Defending Freedom—a Christian legal group—applauded the election. “We join millions in congratulating Francis I on his selection as pope,” Sears said. “He is a leader who has stood strongly for the values of religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, marriage, and the family, often under very trying circumstances. We appreciate his many strong statements over the years on the protection of marriage and the unborn and trust he will continue to be a powerful voice on the deep importance of these issues.”

Alan Sears at Alliance Defending Freedom: From Colorado comes yet another horror story illuminating the true nature of Planned Parenthood – the nation’s largest and most politically powerful abortion provider, which actually prides itself on having helped to kill nearly a million babies over the last three years. While masquerading as a friend of women and a family-planning organization, this billion-dollar international corporation concentrates on meeting its ever-rising quota of abortions, and draws nearly 50 percent of its financial support from your tax dollars.

The New American: Alan Sears, president of Alliance Defending Freedom, called Pope Francis “a leader who has stood strongly for the values of religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, marriage, and the family, often under very trying circumstances. We appreciate his many strong statements over the years on the protection of marriage and the unborn, and trust he will continue to be a powerful voice on the deep importance of these issues.”

Baptist Press at Townhall: “The institution of marriage is the foundation of society, and on March 26-27, the public purpose of marriage will be at stake before the United States Supreme Court in two equally but critical cases to potentially reaffirm or redefine marriage in America,” ADF’s Alan Sears, president and CEO, says in a video at the website. “We’re asking you, your friends, family, neighbors and church community, to join Alliance Defending Freedom and our allies in faithfully praying … for different people and different things leading up to the Supreme Court arguments.”

“We join millions in congratulating Francis I on his selection as pope. He is a leader who has stood strongly for the values of religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, marriage, and the family, often under very trying circumstances.

Alan E. Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom: The Obama administration’s notorious abortion pill mandate – which forces employers, regardless of their religious or moral convictions, to provide insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception under threat of heavy penalties – is taking on water fast, as the reality sinks in with judges across the country that the measure is a massive legal assault on religious freedom.

Alan Sears at Alliance Defending Freedom: Our children are under legal attack. Across the country, a slew of efforts are underway to punish youngsters for the faith of their parents … to intimidate children and their parents out of any public expression of their faith … and to circumvent even the most innocuous program that might somehow benefit Christian children in school.

Buzz Feed: The Alliance Defending Freedom is urging prayers for the lawyers fighting to uphold Proposition 8 and DOMA for them, their families, and their “service on behalf of the just and worthy cause of protecting marriage.” Lawyers opposing the laws get prayers “that God would manifest His goodness in [their] life.” In addition to the prayer effort, the Alliance Defending Freedom is also putting forth an education effort — similar to action being advanced by groups seeking to have DOMA and Proposition 8 struck down.
Here is ADF’s DOMA video . . . | Alliance Defending Freedom Marriage Page

Alan Sears at Townhall: A lawyer who is not moral is something very akin to a doctor who is not compassionate. He may be capable, technically, of doing the job, but why would he want to? What satisfaction can there ultimately be for a physician in helping people whose well-being he cares nothing about? . . . If the law is not about morals, then it’s about the exercise of power for its own sake: I am making a law so that I can force you to do what I want you to do. Divorced from a higher, deeper, greater moral authority, the exercise of creating, defending, and enforcing the law is about the ego of those whose arrogance demands the subservience of others.

Christian Post: “Public schools should encourage, not shut down, the free exchange of ideas. The personal well-wishes of a student are no different just because they mention God,” said Senior Counsel David Cortman. “Public school officials have no legitimate basis to shut down personal speech just because it has a religious reference.” . . . Alliance Defending Freedom, one of the largest legal organizations in the United States championing religious freedom rights, changed its name and logo from Alliance Defense Fund last year.
“Our mission remains the same – defending religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family. Only our name has changed,” ADF President, CEO, and General Counsel Alan Sears stated last July. “The change is to help more people easily understand the work that we do and why it matters.” [more]

Alan Sears at American Thinker (2/15): With estimates that 500,000 to 650,000 supporters took part in the 2013 March for Life on Jan. 25, the outlook for the pro-life movement is very good.

Alan Sears at the Washington Examiner: Alliance Defending Freedom and our associated attorneys represent religious colleges, family business leaders and faith-based companies. Overall, there are more than 110 plaintiffs against this mandate around the country. The only solution is for the administration to obey the Constitution and its legal duty to protect religious freedom for everyone, not just for those it chooses.

LifeNews: Under this new rule, the Obama administration is still picking and choosing who can exercise their faith. Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), one of the many legal groups fighting the mandate in court, insists that it will keep suing until every American can enjoy the freedom guaranteed by the Constitution. “The First Amendment [does not] say ‘for religious entities only,’” Alan Sears said. That might explain why the President’s mandate continues to lose in court. Of the 14 cases heard so far, 10 of the 14 have been decided in freedom’s favor. But until Congress or the courts correct this problem for everyone, institutions will still have to choose between civil disobedience coupled with large fines–or violating their faith.

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: This week, as you and your family join other believers across America in pausing to remember, and to grieve, the 40th year since one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our nation’s history, we do so differently perhaps, than we ever have before … with real, tangible hope that the end of this terrible, open season on children in the womb is coming, at last, to an end.

Alan Sears at Townhall: Put another way, Planned Parenthood—a favorite of this president and his administration and his party—finds children to be worth more dead than alive. And the government, aggressively supporting that position, has effectively put a bounty on children in the womb.

Alan Sears at Townhall: When a society’s laws recognizing marriage as the union of one man and one woman are changed to honor the unions of same-sex couples, it’s not just the law that changes—it’s also the society itself that changes. A top-down metamorphosis begins in which every aspect of public law changes to match the new definition of marriage.

Molly Worthen at the New York Times: Alan Sears, president of the legal advocacy organization Alliance Defending Freedom, sees an unprecedented threat to religious liberty in the harsh fines facing employers who refuse to cover contraception in their insurance programs. “It is a death penalty. It is a radical change,” he told me. “It’s one thing when you’re debating about public space, but it’s another when you say, if you don’t surrender your conscience, you’re out of business.” . . . These legal efforts are less an attempt to redefine religious liberty than a campaign to preserve Christians’ historic right to police the boundary between secular principles and religious beliefs. Only now that conservative Christians have less control over organs of public power, they cannot rely on the political process. Now that the “nones” are declaring themselves, and more Americans — including many Christians — see birth control as a medical necessity rather than a sin, Mr. Sears sees a stark course of action for the Catholic and evangelical business owners he represents: “Litigation is all that our clients have.” Their problem, however, is more fundamental than legal precedent. Their problem is that America’s Christian consensus is fragmenting. We are left groping for something far messier: an evolving, this-worldly, compromise.

Alan Sears at the Human Life International Truth and Charity Forum: The 19th century Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky once wisely said, “If God does not exist, then everything is permitted.” Christians continue to wage a political and legal battle against a predominantly secular culture about the law and the meaning of life—both increasingly corrupted by what Blessed Pope John Paul II coined a “culture of death.”

The New American: Alan Sears of Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal advocacy group, said in a statement that Judge Bork “stands as a constitutional giant of our generation, indeed, one of the greatest legal minds and tireless defenders of religious freedom in American history.” Sears said that Bork “had a dramatic impact on our nation, on its legal culture, and on the minds and hearts of many of its finest judges, law professors, students, and attorneys. Perhaps his greatest mark was the restoration of scholarship on Originalism, which has helped preserve the ingenious framework for freedom forged by our nation’s founders that many others in the legal profession had hoped to toss into the dustbin of history.”

Judge Robert Bork stands as a constitutional giant of our generation, indeed, one of the greatest legal minds and tireless defenders of religious freedom in American history.

Alan Sears at Townhall: In October 2010, the Alliance Defending Freedom was privileged to recognize Judge Robert H. Bork with the “Edwin Meese III Award for Originalism and Religious Liberty.” At that time, we described him as, “one of the greatest legal minds in American history, and a person who has made an indelible impact on our nation, on its legal culture, and on the minds and hearts of many of its finest judges, law professors, students, and attorneys.”

Alan Sears at Alliance Defending Freedom: If you’ve followed the work of Alliance Defending Freedom for long, you won’t be surprised to learn that, at Christmas time as throughout the year, Christian college students across the country – including your children and grandchildren – have to contend with administrators (paid by your tax dollars) who leave “no room in the inn” for faith and free expression.

Alan Sears at Townhall: This was seen over the weekend as hundreds of thousands of people rallied in France to support marriage in the face of a pending redefinition of it. They were also standing up for keeping the best environment for a child the number one priority for adoption, rather than change adoption laws to place children with same-sex couples for purely political reasons.

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: But this is a season of Thanksgiving, and all of us at this ministry have so much to be grateful for, as our gracious God has showered us, even in the last few weeks, with a series of important victories in a variety of cases from all over the country. A brief sampling . . .

Alan Sears at the American Thinker: Following the passage of California’s Proposition 35 on Nov. 6, the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit to stop the measure against child predators from taking force. The section of Prop. 35 against which the ACLU took issue is that which “requires registered sex offenders to give authorities a list of their Internet providers and screen names.”

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom: The occupant of the White House isn’t the only thing that hasn’t changed in the last two weeks. Many friends of Alliance Defending Freedom have expressed grave concern about how our work will continue, in the wake of President Barak Obama’s re-election. Although this ministry is committed to being apolitical, there is no denying that this administration has been the most openly and aggressively hostile in American history to religious freedom, to preserving marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and to the protection of life in the womb.

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: Those results, and their impact, are in God’s hands, but this we know: like that beachfront pavilion in Ocean Grove … like the faithful Christians who have held to their faith in that case in the face of a legal hurricane … this ministry, by God’s grace, will still be standing for the Truth, for religious freedom, for the constitutionally protected rights of you and your children and grandchildren. Please join me in praying for His clear direction in all these things (John 15:5).

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: Ruth Sweats is a resident of that senior living complex in the Minneapolis area. Not long ago, she met quietly with one of her neighbors in the commons area of the complex to read the Bible, pray, and share a private conversation about her faith. Soon, a social worker employed at the property saw what she was doing, came over, and told her she would have to stop. The social worker said that Osborne Apartments receives tax-payer support from the Department of Housing and Urban Development – and, as a government agency, cannot allow its residents to have religious discussions in a public area

The Catholic Transcript: Taking the Obama Administration to task for what he considers its assault on the values and freedoms of Americans, Alan Sears, one of the leading legal advocates for religious liberty, urged an audience attending a bioethics lecture to “take a stand” for issues that preserve life and freedom. “This administration is waging a war on everything our Founding Fathers held dear, trying to destroy the heart of America, its rich heritage of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” said Mr. Sears, president, CEO and general counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), an organization that works to defend religious liberty, marriage and human life. “This administration has turned the purpose of government on its head,” he continued. “No longer is its purpose to protect and defend our religious liberty. Rather, it is now becoming a tyrannical tool used to undermine our freedoms and eradicate our conscience.” Mr. Sears made his comments at the annual Pope John Paul II Bioethics Lecture on Oct. 5 at Holy Apostles College and Seminary.

Alan Sears at Townhall: Now, full disclosure: I’ve never liked Halloween anyway. But even with that, I can’t help wondering if our growing national obsession with this holiday is a dark reflection of things happening at deeper levels of our collective conscience. Looking past the masks we wear in most of our conversations about elections, government, and the society we share, any honest observer would have to admit that, in many ways, America is only a ghost of its former self.

Alan Sears at the Washington Times: The U.S. Supreme Court will be challenged to uphold Lincoln’s principle as it decides whether to hear four cases challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and one case challenging California’s Proposition 8, which affirmed marriage as between one man and one woman through a direct vote of the people. What is being weighed in the balance is a fundamental understanding of the role of the judiciary and that of the American people. The Supreme Court should review these cases and rule that the matter should be left for Americans, not the judiciary, to decide.

Alan Sears at Holy Apostles College: Seriously, I am truly honored to be here tonight, honored to address in the name of the Blessed John Paul the II – you, my fellow followers of Christ in this age of much uncertainty, about some of the defining issues of our time: the sanctity of life, bioethical issues, marriage, and the
struggle to preserve freedom of conscience and religious liberty.The 19th century Russian writer, Fyoder Dostoevsky once wisely said: “If God is dead all things are permitted.” My friends, we live in age — particularly right now in history during a crucial election year – where a political and legal battle wages about the law and the meaning of life: what it is, when it begins, and what our responsibilities are to nurture and protect it — or to extinguish or prevent it.

Alan Sears at Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: Many of you are aware of the growing influence God is giving Alliance Defending Freedom in the courts of Europe. I have often expressed how important our presence there is to defend crucial cases that, if lost, will undoubtedly be embraced by activist judges in the U.S. and used to set ominous precedents for our own legal system. In short order, those precedents could seriously undermine your constitutionally protected freedoms and erode your religious liberty.

Alan E. Sears at Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: Those who closely follow proceedings at the U.S. Supreme Court are telling us there’s an excellent chance that at least two crucial cases involving the definition of marriage – cases with the potential to greatly impact the lives of you, your children, and the future of religious freedom in America – will be reviewed by the Court during the new term that began this week.

Alan Sears at Townhall: America stands at a precipice. Never before have so many of our fundamental, God-given freedoms hung by so thin a thread here at home as they do now.

Christian Post: several key speakers, including ADF President Alan Sears, who addressed the crowd about what the organizations view as the “assault on marriage and the family” currently taking place in society. “Today’s religious freedom forum, a call for all people of faith to join and stand on the Manhattan Declaration, is a cry, ‘to let us be free.’ To preserve, protect, and defend the liberty and Constitution that millions have crossed oceans and deserts to obtain, and countless numbers have shed blood and given even their lives to preserve,” Sears said.

The Georgia Bulletin: “Our religious liberty is under assault like never before in America, in ways that are chilling, that are alien and unimagined on these shores,” said Alan Sears, president of the Alliance Defending Freedom in Scottsdale, Ariz. “If we fail to stand, if we fail to fight, if we fail to refuse to comply, our God-given liberty … will be but a distant memory.” The forum was based on the Manhattan Declaration, a 4,700-word joint statement signed in November 2009 by more than 140 Christian leaders, many evangelical and Catholic, pledging renewed zeal in defending the unborn, defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and protecting religious freedom.

Alliance Defending Freedom is co-sponsoring a Religious Freedom Forum at St. John’s University tomorrow with President Alan Sears addressing the assault on marriage and the family and its impact on freedom.

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: Federal law specifically prohibits zoning officials from subjecting religious organizations to this type of unequal treatment,” says Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley. “Upper Arlington will allow other groups to occupy a building in this zone, but it won’t allow this school. “No city should use its zoning code to discriminate against a Christian school and keep its students in inferior and overcrowded facilities,” Stanley says. “A city’s zoning code cannot give preferential treatment to non-religious institutions that function similarly to a Christian school.”

Alan Sears at the American Thinker: Someone once famously distilled some two centuries of American debate over individual “rights” into a single sentence: “Your right to extend your fist,” he said, “ends about one inch short of the tip of my nose.”

Alan Sears at Townhall: We need to search out again the aspects of our tangible foundation which transcend our personal or political differences, and upon finding them we need to cling to them tightly.

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: For years, under a law oddly-titled “The Freedom of Religion Act,” the province has required that anyone converting to Christianity (or any other faith) had to notify the local magistrate and have the decision made public record within 30 days. Anyone converting to Hinduism – or reverting back to that religion from a previous conversion – was exempt from this requirement.

Alan Sears at American Thinker: What we have in America today, in effect, are two kinds of “exceptionalism.” One is the kind political candidates (conservative ones, at least) like to speak of, that recognizes the unusual blessings and opportunities that, up to now, have always been within reach of those blessed to be raised in this country. And then there is the other kind — the kind that says freedom is for every group “except this one.” Or that “my group deserves exceptional latitude — exceptional tolerance — exceptional indulgence and promotion from the law and culture and community.”

Alan E. Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: August was a wonderful month for your liberty at Alliance Defending Freedom, in which God has reminded us time and again, across a spectrum of important cases, how much He is blessing your good prayers and generous support for the work of defending religious freedom across our nation. Some highlights . . .

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: On August 17, the 5th Circuit ruled against the owners of several abortion clinics, who had appealed the dismissal of their lawsuit against a Louisiana law requiring them to meet certain patient health and safety regulations. Can you imagine: suing for the right to offer more hazardous abortions? . . . “A woman’s health and safety should always be the most important concern in cases like this, and that is indeed the highest concern of Louisiana health officials,” says Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Steven H. Aden, who served as co-counsel for the state health department in arguing to uphold the original district court decision that threw out the lawsuit. “The district court was right to reject this challenge to basic health and safety regulations, and the 5th Circuit has done the right thing in upholding that decision.”

Alan Sears at The Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: In a day when elected officials and activist judges in many states across America are maneuvering to undermine the traditional and legal meaning of marriage, the clear thinking of a federal court in Hawaii is as refreshing as an island breeze.

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: “The cost of freedom for this family could be millions of dollars per year in fines that will cripple their business if the Obama administration ultimately has its way,” he adds. Americans don’t want politicians and bureaucrats deciding what faith is, who the faithful are, and where and how that faith may be lived out.” Clearly, the danger here is not just to one family business in Colorado – but to you, your family, and countless family business owners and employees throughout the U.S. Please be in special prayer for this crucial case and for our lawyers as they pursue this matter – and other pressing cases – in the courtrooms of America.

Alan Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: Charging Planned Parenthood with submitting “repeated false, fraudulent, and/or ineligible claims for reimbursements” to Medicaid and failing to meet acceptable standards of medical practice, Alliance Defending Freedom sued the organization’s Iowa affiliate in March, 2011, on behalf of former Planned Parenthood clinic director Sue Thayer.

Alan E. Sears at Townhall: Pictures of life are important. And whether we’re talking about the one I found of my father or the one a distraught young mother will see of the child she’s carrying, they all remind us that life is too precious to be discarded.

Alan E. Sears at the Alliance Defending Freedom Blog: Last week, we reported some of the actions your support has enabled Alliance Defending Freedom to take in defending our children in tax-funded schools from the onslaughts of those pressing pornography and the homosexual agenda. This week, I’d like you to see how you’re enabling our attorneys to defend religious freedom at our state universities.

Alan E. Sears at Townhall: In nations where socialized medicine has been in force for some time, the elderly and infirm are being sacrificed (killed) for the comfort of the young and healthy. And with the Supreme Court’s recent decision to uphold socialized medicine in America via ObamaCare, there is justifiable concern that the elderly and infirm may eventually face the same fate here in America.
