PARENTS BEWARE: ‘Trick-or-treat’ program supports abortions around the world
[Family Policy Network] – Parents should beware of a Halloween trickor-treat fundraising scheme that benefits a pro-abortion division of the United Nations (UN). Children throughout the U.S. will be carrying fundraising literature from house to house to raise money for the UN’s “Children’s Emergency Fund” (UNICEF). While UNICEF purports to raise money to purchase food and medicine for impoverished children, its real aim is to fight for socially-liberal public policies for children around the world.

Obama Signs Bill Adding ‘Sexual Orientation’ to Federal ‘Hate Crimes’ Law
[FPN] – President Obama has delivered on a campaign promise to homosexuals by signing legislation that will extend special ‘hate crimes’ protections to some people on the basis of their private sexual misconduct. Family Policy Network (FPN) opposed adding ‘sexual orientation’ to ‘hate crimes’ categories, primarily because it is a move designed to elevate immoral lifestyles to civil rights status. Moreover, it poses a serious threat to religious liberties. Two amendments designed to protect free speech were added to the proposed hate crimes language, but FPN maintains its opposition for five important reasons. Continue Reading →
FPN Policy Paper on State Marriage Amendments
In well-intentioned efforts to curb the erosion of the sanctity of marriage by proposing or passing “marriage amendments” to individual state constitutions, many people believe that merely defining marriage as the union between one man and one woman will do the job of protecting the institution of the family.
Sadly, this is not the case. A state (or federal) marriage amendment that does nothing to protect against homosexual civil unions misses the point of protecting the institution of the family. Such attempts fall victim to the idea that the only thing that needs protecting is the word “marriage.”
This policy paper explains Family Policy Network’s (FPN) position on state marriage amendments and explains why the differences in language are so important. Continue Reading →

State legislatures often consider such proposals and some have been passed and signed into law. This policy paper explains the reasons why FPN is opposed to all such proposals. Continue Reading →
