Marriage and Witness: What’s Going on at Notre Dame?

The Pro-Life Movement, Forty-One Years After Roe

Public Discourse

The State Marriage Defense Act

By
The age in which all states were united in understanding marriage as the exclusive union of man and woman for life has passed away. Now, new legislation seeks to protect the right of each state to define marriage for those who reside within its borders.

Public Discourse

By
Witness to the truth matters for its own sake, but persistent, winsome witness also tends to bear good fruit, even if it takes 40 years and counting.
Public Discourse

Same-Sex Marriage Ten Years On: Lessons from Canada

By
The effects of same-sex civil marriage in Canada—restrictions on free speech rights, parental rights in education, and autonomy rights of religious institutions, along with a weakening of the marriage culture—provide lessons for the United States.

By

Public Discourse

Abortion and the Courts: A Brief Political History of Judicial Conservatism

By
Legalized, unrestricted abortion can’t be blamed on conservative judicial policy just because Republican justices voted for it. Judicial conservatism as we now understand it came after Roe. The first of a two-part series.
Public Discourse

The White House and Sexualityism

By
Against what social science tells us about human happiness, the government is promoting sexualityism—a commitment to uncommitted, unencumbered, inconsequential sex—as the answer.
Public Discourse

HHS Mandate: Unjust (as well as Illegal)

By
