When AB 775 (or the “Reproductive FACT Act”) was shot down by the U.S. Supreme Court last June, hundreds of thousands of common sense-loving Californians breathed a sigh of relief. The FACT Act, signed by Governor Jerry Brown in 2015, demanded that Golden State crisis pregnancy centers — and crisis pregnancy centers alone — advertise where and how clients could get abortions…

This month’s newsletter should have been the 5th in our series of attacks on Constitutional liberties, but after reviewing some of Advocates’ recent major cases, I felt compelled to stop and share with our steadfast supporters these current legal battles – and to ask for your faithful prayers. These cases reveal a radical attempt to abolish Christianity’s unimpeachable principles from our children, our communities, and our culture, but Proverbs 18:10 tells us, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.”

Tyler & Bursch, LLP, has filed a complaint against Vimeo on behalf of Church United and its founder, Pastor Jim Domen. Church United is a religious non-profit dedicated to helping pastors and churches respond to cultural issues in their communities.

Thank You! To everyone who was able to find time on June 11 to call the California State Assembly Health Committee and ask them to vote NO on SB 24, Democrat State Senator Connie Leyva’s anti-life bill requiring all of California’s public universities to make Chemical Abortion Pills available to young college students up to ten weeks into their pregnancy.

While forthright governors in states like Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Utah are signing “Heartbeat” bills and limiting abortions to the first trimester, three Democrat governors in California, Oregon and Washington have signed a joint letter, encouraging the rest of the states to join them in passing much stronger laws against restricting abortions...

Many of us have bosses who think and vote differently than we do. And in a richly diverse nation like the United States, that’s actually an advantage; it takes all kinds of kinds, after all…

On May 15, 2019, Vision Church and the City of San Diego signed a settlement agreement proposed by Tyler & Bursch, LLP on behalf of the church.
 
The settlement would finally resolve the over one year battle with Cannversions, Inc., the marijuana production company that worked to vacate the church building because of a City ordinance restricting them from operating near a church.

Over the last two years, Advocates for Faith and Freedom has been hearing from social media users about Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube’s censorship of conservative social media posts. Unfortunately, there has not been much we could do about this because discrimination based on political views is not unlawful. However, we finally have a great case based on unlawful religious and sexual orientation discrimination, and we are taking action…

When it comes to pro-life matters, one could make the case that Nada Higuera is much more than a bench player.

Sixteen months ago, the Advocates for Faith & Freedom attorney brought home one of the most significant pro-life court victories in California in recent memory. Her success in the courtroom, coupled with a heartbreaking story involving her own abortion…

Abortion activists are no longer saying that abortion should be “safe, legal and rare”.  Their disingenuous “access to women’s reproductive rights” movement is really more about abortion than women’s health.

In fact, taxpayer funded Planned Parenthood clinics aborted more babies in 2018 than it did in the past five years. According to its own report, it performed a total of 332,757 abortions — 11,373 more than the previous year. But, that is not enough for them…
