A Family-Focused Approach to Consumption

By
Our consumption decisions should be focused on the needs of our family members. This requires attention to unglamorous factors such as budgets and nutritional requirements, instead of being up-to-date with the brands and campaigns that purport to solve the world’s problems by selling us products.

Why Sex Matters

By
Sex, while personal, isn’t private. Another person is involved, so it’s of interest to society and the state, as are children and family. The whole human dynamic, all of it, wouldn’t exist without people—to state the obvious—and the decline of marriage and fertility affects the future of everything and everyone.

The Social Injustice of Social Security

By
Unraveling a program that is deeply embedded in our politics and culture won’t be easy, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be attempted. The goal of relieving old-age financial hardship was a worthy one, but the policy measure enacted was a defective means to achieve it. The insolvency of Social Security may provide the emergency necessary to bring about change, if only we do not let the crisis go to waste.

What Bumble’s Bumble Tells Us about Dating Apps

By
Potential partners deserve to be encountered with dignity as whole people, not as reproductive data points with scores that may be higher or lower based on our checklists. True love, the kind that’s truly human, cannot be “added to cart.”

What’s Next for Venezuela? A Q&A with Angel Alvarado

By and
At this moment, what we can do is the right thing. And sometimes the right thing is very risky—going out into the streets and demonstrating your opinions on the situation. It's risky, but I think it’s our right, and I think it’s what is right.

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.
Republican Party

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.
Republican party

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.
Robert E Lee

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

By
Robert E. Lee perhaps tried to be a gentleman, but his moral principles were weak. Therefore, when the flood of war came, he compromised with evil, then piled sin upon sin, as the rebellion’s corrupting logic swept away more and more of his moral foundations.

What’s Natural (in Family Planning) Is New Again

By
Women are increasingly embracing the reality that their cycles are beautiful, powerful, and healthy. This is truly, authentically, and enduringly empowering.

The Dream World of Modern Intellectuals

By
Our age appears to be in full rebellion against God and His Creation. And since we are creatures, even against our own nature. Ingratitude is thus the cardinal sin of our time.

Ask Chris Tollefsen: An Ethics Advice Column

By
All three questions raise many more issues than I’ve been able to address, and I thank my writers for their rich and thought-provoking submissions.

What Are Children For? A Q&A with Rachel Wiseman and Anastasia Berg

By , and
Religious conservatives should be open to the idea that progressives and liberals might be able to take their own path and still find some common ground on the essential question of the goodness of human life.

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.

Waiting for Sharansky

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.

The Bookshelf: Waxing Poetic with A. M. Juster

By and
Our postmodern academy is never going to bring back traditional prosody on its own, so we should probably be thinking hard about how to use the Internet to bring the traditional tools of English poetry back to the people.
euthanasia

Assisted Death and The Economist

By
The American experience with assisted suicide should persuade Great Britain and other countries that the slippery slope to broader killing is disturbingly genuine.
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.
Supreme Court

A Lawless Court Gives Us a Lawless Presidency

By
The president is not a king above the law. With the failure of the courts and political institutions to preserve and enforce these principles, it falls to us, who are the first and last check on government, to do so with all the lawful powers at our disposal as citizens.  
UK Parliament

The End of the Party

By
The British Conservative Party suffered a landslide election defeat because it abandoned its historic commitments to prudence, moderation, and competence.

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? 
The Vatican

Sexual Morality, Pope Francis, and Ascetic Christianity

By
Because of our fallen and finite nature, we are all burdened with the impediment of concupiscence. But we are not victims or helpless creatures determined in our actions by the imperatives of biology.
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.
