Nigel Farage has now turned his attention to abortion, seemingly in an effort to curry favor with the deep pockets of the U.S. Christian right. He’s teaming up with Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a U.S.-based Christian advocacy group campaigning to outlaw abortion worldwide.

ADF is no stranger to controversy. In the U.S., the organization has spearheaded Republican efforts to restrict reproductive rights. Meanwhile, its UK branch, ADF International, has been forging ties with British MPs, supporting anti-abortion activism, and challenging laws.

When I was filming in Texas for The Revolution Will Be Televised, I met Pro-Life activists holding a “Holocaust of the Unborn” event outside a clinic they had already shut down. Their goal was clear: to close more clinics. It was unforgettably chilling.

“But it couldn’t happen here!” Really? Couldn’t it? The right has already shifted the cultural debate.Many people I know feel the need to check out of these battles for their mental health. But you know who isn’t checking out? Those who champion chilling slogans like “Your body. My choice. Forever.”

This is a message to my brothers. To all men. To men who see we are living through a tidal wave of misogyny. You don’t need to be perfect—or have been perfect—to stand up for women’s rights right now. The more men who speak out today, the safer tomorrow will be for women in the UK.

That’s a fact.

"Nothing is more meaningful than being part of a struggle for democracy." Written by a reporter who lived in Turkey while freedoms and Democracy were taken away.

When one freedom is removed, all others are in jeopardy. The oligarchs of the world meet every year to plan this.

The ADF is also very much against LGBT rights, and was involved in campaigns in Russia to support anti-gay legislation there.

The ADF has a foothold already in the UK anti-trans movement through people like Maya Forstater and the anti-trans straight-funded LGB alliance.
