The Michigan Conversion Therapy Ban Violates Human Nature and Religious Freedom

By
The meaning of “conversion therapy” that Michigan law now bans does not simply place some technical limit on those who work in the mental health profession. It instead validates and mandates a harmful conception of human nature and identity that is antithetical to the convictions of countless religious professionals who faithfully serve in this space.

The Pronatalism of Silicon Valley

By
The pro-family approach recognizes that marriage and family formation are the basis for overcoming the birth dearth in the United States. By encouraging family formation, we ensure that children are born into environments where they are most likely to thrive and nurture their own love for children.

Social Conservatives, Populism, and Confused Republicans

By
Social conservatives serve a noble cause, and any populism ignoring their concerns is a populism not worth supporting.

Pro-Life Peril and Hope

By
The GOP has always been an imperfect and unreliable vehicle for pro-life policy, and Trump’s approach will make matters much worse. Pro-lifers must be clear-eyed about the danger our movement is in, wise and unwearied in our political response, and hopeful despite the darkness of our culture.

Propriety without Principle: The Cautionary Tale of Robert E. Lee

By

Zhulian: Implication by Relation

By
One brave soul might be willing to sacrifice a career or even a life for the greater good, as has been repeatedly the case for many individuals in China and in other authoritarian nations. But for the activist’s actions to then result in the suffering or even death of loved ones is too high a price.
Newt Gingrich

Thirty Years After the House GOP Takeover

By
After thirty years, it is clear that Gingrich set unrealistic expectations for what legislative leaders can do. He encouraged colleagues to think of him as a revolutionary figure who could somehow overcome institutional constraints. In the real world, there are limits on what leaders can accomplish in the Madisonian system.

By
As we unwittingly imitate the worst of Soviet culture, we need deliberately to imitate the best as well.

What is an “Artificial Womb”? A Response to Katy Faust and Samantha Stephenson

By
It is vital that physicians and patients alike demand that bedrock concepts of the human experience like birth remain clearly defined and our most vulnerable patients remain protected. To that end, we must be clear-eyed about the unique ethical challenges that AAPT will pose.
Oklahoma Supreme Court

Can Government Fund Religious Education?

By
As the battles of religious education ramp up, one can only imagine that the Supreme Court will eventually weigh in. Which path will the Court ultimately choose? Will it endorse religious charter schools as necessary to avoid private religious discrimination, or will it reject religious charter schools as a form of religious coercion? Only time will tell.

When We Outsource Every Hard Thing, What Do We Lose?

By
Popular culture tells us it is often more efficient to outsource routine household tasks than do them yourself. This leaves an important question unanswered, however: efficient at what? 
SCOTUS

The Court Curtails the Administrative State

By
The modern administrative state rests on a dismissal of separation of powers principles. But for the Left to even use the language of separation of powers suggests some victory for conservatism.

Putting Public Colleges on a Path to Privatization

By
Postsecondary education in the United States needs the discipline of the market. Putting all public colleges and universities on a path to privatization—and, eventually, removing all forms of public subsidy—is how to get there.

Multigenerational Living: A Step Back to Healthy Communal Life

By
The love that rebuilds civilization comes when we live together. This is an opportunity to make a serious, radical, countercultural sacrifice of one’s own selfishness, a sacrifice that can change the family culture. It is not an easy decision or an easy life. But it is good.

Giving until It Hurts: Helping Mothers Love

By
The way to foster a loving bond between mother and child is to nurture a wider culture of support and love. It is not fair to children to deprive them of their mother’s womb for their life before birth. But it is also not fair to mothers to deprive them of the support they need to make pregnancy and motherhood bearable.

By
There is no panacea for what ails polling. But greater transparency in polling might help to weed out the worst polls while prompting the best pollsters to discover how to do better in time for 2026 or 2028.

In Search of the Self

By
Our culture’s crisis of the self is a crisis of faith in our personhood; its cause is our ignorance of the God who best reveals what a person is.
