A Democrat’s Ideological Journey on Abortion 

By
So long as the pro-life movement is part of the GOP coalition, the attractiveness of the pro-life message is affected by the attractiveness of the GOP. And it’s hard to grow the pro-life tent if the pro-life movement is bound up with a hard-right GOP that is repellent to centrist and center-left voters.

Today’s Dating App Users Aren’t Happy. Technology Is Not Our Problem.  

By

Amoris Patientia

By
We have a choice. We can look at the Church’s teaching on the indissolubility of marriage as burdensome, or we can look at it as Görres describes, “as protection, preservation, guarantee, rootedness, as the greatest earthly security of all which one person can give to another.”

Common Sense Wins the Day in West Virginia v. B. P. J.

By
The Court did not prescribe that states limit girls’ and women’s sports to the female sex. It merely held that states that did draw that line did not run afoul of Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause. For now, though, for girls like Adaleia Cross and for all friends of reason and common sense, the Supreme Court’s decision to call a spade a spade and sex sex is most welcome.

Constitutional Parental Rights: No “Substantive Due Process” Required 

By
Indeed, because our Constitution recognizes the right of both mother and father to the custody of their joint offspring, that Constitution surely permits—if not requires—all the states of our Union to publicly favor, once again, the lifelong “union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.”

Female Fertility and Athleticism: Two Sides of the Same Coin

Can We Humanize Our Brave New World? 

By
The elimination of suffering will not produce joy. If we seek to be truly free, we must acknowledge our responsibilities to one another. We will flourish to the extent that we all can flourish.

Gen Z and Men Who Yearn 

By
For a generation marked by a noticeable gender split on political beliefs as well as by ever declining marriage rates, it would seem that young women still retain a desire for a specific vision of manhood. But what exactly is that vision?

Body Literacy Is the New “Sex Ed” 

By and
A culture that teaches girls to silence their pain, medicate their cycles, and dismiss the body’s signals is a culture that will inevitably reap infertility, despair, and declining birthrates. A culture that teaches body literacy, by contrast, will raise young people who see their fertility as a vital sign of health and an essential part of their future.
