Anthony List and the Alliance Defense Fund, will place facilities that provide abortions at the bottom of a priority list for funding, allowing more money to go to health care providers that offer services for women such as dental care, mammograms, and treatments for anxiety disorders. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/24/pennsylvania-works-to-cut-planned-parenthood-funds-louisiana-nears-passage-of-fetal-pain-bill/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.ksla.com/story/18431054/arrested-abortion-protestor-vows-to-fight">KSLA.com</a> (includes video):  A woman who was arrested in April after protesting at a Shreveport abortion clinic is speaking out about facing felony charges . . . I think the public record is pretty clear that these guys are behaving and acting like the keystone cops," said Joel Pearce, Krier's attorney . . . Pearce wants to go to trial. And he says he's ready to make the case that his client was targeted for her beliefs.  "We are going all the way, we will not negotiate, we will not surrender, and even after that we are going to make sure that Centenary is held accountable for this," said Pearce . . . "This is not a prosecution, this is a political persecution," says Pearce.

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://theadvocate.com/home/2436660-125/parish-hires-legal-expert">The Advocate</a>: Bergthold is familiar to Angelina Spencer, the executive director of the Association of Club Executives, an adult-nightclub trade organization. Spencer said local officials are often afraid to go against Bergthold, who has been associated with the Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative, Christian legal group. “He’s very successful because it’s political suicide to stand up to him,” Spencer said. Bergthold is “great at getting himself hired as a legal consultant, and then will go in and testify in support of this legislation,” Spencer said. “When clubs challenge this legislation, he becomes the attorney of record.” <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/02/st-helena-parish-hires-legal-expert-will-help-craft-law-on-sex-businesses-the-advocate/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

In 2011, more than 30 states introduced bills that would use taxpayer dollars to send children to privately run schools, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. That's up more than 300% from the previous year, when only nine voucher bills were introduced. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/01/16/school-voucher-program-gets-fresh-look-in-louisiana/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

According to the group's website, the ADF formed in the 90s and is, "a servant organization that provides the resources that will keep the door open for the spread of the Gospel through the legal defense of religious freedom, the sanctity of life, marriage and the family." The group claims on the website that it is fighting against ACLU attacks on religious freedom and other religious dogma. One of the ADF's deceased founders, Marlin Maddoux, is quoted praising ADF in its fight against "radical attacks." "ADF gives Christians a unique way to fight back against the radical attacks of groups like the ACLU, homosexual activists and anti-family activists," Maddoux is quoted as saying. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/01/03/ul-professor-files-civil-suit-against-co-workers/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

Aden was on hand as arguments were presented. "A couple of the judges were aghast at a suggestion by the lawyer for the five abortion clinics that it might be unconstitutional for the state to require abortionists to have licensed anesthesiologists, as opposed to unlicensed high school graduates administering anesthesia, as one abortion facility in Louisiana has done," he reports.
