Analysis / Bias
In review, ADF supports the inclusion of invocations at public meetings and the use of religious displays (such as crosses and other religious monuments) on public lands and in public buildings. The ADF opposes abortion and believes that healthcare workers have a right to decline participation in the performance of abortions and other practices an individual health worker finds morally objectionable. ADF opposes same-sex marriage and civil unions and adoption by same-sex couples based on their belief that a married mother and father best raise children. ADF believes parents should be able to opt their children out of sex education in schools that run counter to a family’s religious beliefs.
