Scholars and staff of the Ethics and Public Policy Center mourn the loss of EPPC Fellow Ian Lindquist, who died on May 5 of leukemia at age 35.
Mr. Lindquist joined EPPC in 2017, and his work focused on liberal and classical education, civil society and civic education, and the traditional and communal grounds of liberty in modern and contemporary society and culture. He was also senior advisor to the Public Interest Fellowship, which he previously served as executive director.
The Pro-Family Agenda Republicans Should Embrace After Roe
Patrick T. Brown New York Times
The leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization allows social conservatives a glimpse into a post-Roe future. If his draft ends up the majority opinion, those who marched and prayed and rallied and voted for half a century to recognize in law the value of every human life will soon be celebrating — and rightly so.
In the wake of such a victory, the movement that describes itself as pro-life and pro-family must encompass a broader vision of policy than just prohibiting access to abortion. Activists who have worked to render abortion not just illegal but also unthinkable are tired of having to respond to the shopworn cliché about being pro-life only until the baby is born. But a world in which states have the power to restrict abortion is one that compels a greater claim on public resources to support expectant mothers facing crisis pregnancies and to seek to make all parents’ lives a little easier.
Ryan T. Anderson joined Kathleen Wilson and Carrie Severino for a virtual event on the Dobbs leak moderated by NRI senior fellow Kathryn Jean Lopez. The panelists discussed the implications for the Court and for its decision and suggested what pro-life people should be doing to prepare for the final decision this summer.
Ed Whelan appeared on EWTN News In Depth to discuss the leaked draft opinion of the decision in the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban case.
On May 6, Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel went on the National Catholic Register‘s Religious Freedom Matters podcast to discuss important religious context to the Russia and Ukraine conflict.
From the publisher: The coronavirus pandemic conferred enormous power on certain government officials. They have no intention of giving it up.
When covid-19 broke out, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty’s work put him on the front lines. Realizing that the mental, physical, and economic toll of lockdowns was catastrophic, he began to protest that the cure was worse than the disease—an intolerable heresy. When he refused vaccination because he had natural immunity from a previous infection, the University of California, Irvine, medical school fired him. He fought back, in the courts and in the media, and has become a reliable source of truth amid official obfuscation and censorship.
Now it’s time for all of us to fight back. The deadly and arrogant misrule of the biomedical security state must not become the "new normal."
