ADF

The ADF has spent much of its time and considerable resources lately drafting and supporting anti-trans legislation and opposing protections for gender-affirming care.

Long-term goal: The logical conclusion to draw from this suit is that ADF wants to ban public schools from teaching about race.

ADF argued that Idaho’s abortion ban doesn’t violate the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act because a fetus is supposedly a patient under the act, to be treated on equal footing with the pregnant woman even if the fetus isn’t viable.

ADF reported more than $100 million in revenue in both 2021 and 2022.

ADF has also faced scrutiny for apparently manufacturing lawsuits involving Christian wedding vendors who object to same-sex marriage; one such case involving a website designer succeeded at the court in 2023 even though the plaintiff, Lorie Smith, had never designed wedding websites and a potential customer who contacted her turned out to be straight.
