🙏 The right to gather for prayer is at the center of a case the Supreme Court will hear later this fall.

"No one needs a permit to pray, and if the free exercise of religion means anything, it means that you can gather privately in your home to pray with your friends." — Zack Pruitt, ERLC vice president of public policy and general counsel

“If we don’t point out every little thing on the old machine, they don’t know what they’re looking at,” McSwain said. “How can you deny that is a baby? I just think this machine is going to be so convincing.”

“As Southern Baptists have affirmed time and again – abortion is not health care. By no means should American taxpayers foot the bill or bear the moral weight for abortion or abortion counseling.” -Katy Roberts, ERLC senior policy manager on the ERLC's advocacy to stop the VA's support of abortion coverage

ANOTHER UPDATE ON DEFUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD 🚨:

A district judge blocked the defunding Planned Parenthood provision nationwide in an updated order.

This order stands against the will of Congress and taxpayers who refuse to fund big abortion providers.

[ERLC @ERLC]

We are grateful to see the Trump administration appeal the recent ruling preventing full enforcement of Planned Parenthood's defunding.

Southern Baptists will continue to work and pray for the full and permanent defunding of Planned Parenthood.

2023 resolution "On Wisely Engaging Immigration": https://t.co/dONp5p93yS

[ERLC @ERLC]

The ERLC has never supported amnesty and never will.

The ERLC has consistently advocated for policies that reflect the will of SBC messengers who have, for over a decade, supported strong border security and other measures, including a pathway to legal status for those willing to follow appropriate restitutionary processes.

This is not amnesty, which requires nothing of those who receive the benefit.

🚨 The @ERLC joins with the Soros-funded Evangelical Immigration Table to back yet another “bipartisan” amnesty bill for illegal aliens
