Phyllis Schlafly examines what she sees as systematic attacks on religious freedom during Barack Obama's presidency. Writing with George Neumayr, she documents policies affecting Catholic hospitals, military chaplains, and healthcare workers with religious objections to certain procedures. The authors argue that the administration stripped conscience protections from pro-life medical professionals and attempted to restrict religious expression in military settings. They analyze court cases involving church employment decisions and the administration's approach to the Defense of Marriage Act. Schlafly and Neumayr also examine the role of liberal Christian leaders and trace connections between Obama's community organizing background and his later policies. The book presents their case that these actions represent an unprecedented challenge to First Amendment protections and religious practice in American public life.
