From the editor’s desk: Cook at Mercatornet made an excellent point about the abortion debate in the United States following the leak of a Supreme Court decision that indicates that the five-decade old Roe decision is about to be overturned: the pro-abortion side is going to have to learn to debate their position. For nearly five decades, the pro-abortion side has been [...]
Oswald Clark: In the days after Politico reported on the leaked Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health that could overrule the infamous 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, pro-life offices and churches were targeted with violence and vandalism. On May 7, the Wisconsin Family Action office in Madison, Wisconsin, [...]
Oswald Clark and Paul Tuns: On May 2, Politico revealed a leaked copy of the 98-page majority decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case challenging the constitutionality of a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks gestation, that would overturn the infamous Roe v. Wade ruling. Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed that the leaked draft was authentic and [...]
M. Stanton Evans: Conservative Wit, Apostle of Freedom: by Steven F. Hayward (Encounter, $45, 391 pages) Paul Tuns Review Steven Hayward’s new biography of M. Stanton Evans is overdue; he was a giant in the U.S. conservative movement but he remains criminally under-appreciated. Evans graduated from Yale shortly after William Buckley did and quickly began serving the movement from both inside and [...]

Paul Tuns: The Conservative Party’s Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC) did not verify two candidates green-lit by Campaign Life Coalition by discerning fundraising rules in a novel way to block the pair of pro-life candidates from being on the ballot when members vote for a new leader later this summer.

Interim Staff: A Helsinki court acquitted former Finnish Minister of the Interior Päivi Räsänen and Juhana Pohjola, the bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland, of inciting hatred against homosexuals with their defenses of traditional Christian teaching about the sinfulness of homosexual activity.

AndrewLawton: A silly old cartoon came across my social media feeds the other day for the bajillionth time. In it, two people stand at opposite sides of a number drawn on the ground. One thinks it’s a ‘6’ while the other thinks it’s a ‘9’. The moral is supposed to be that perspective matters (though some variations take the relativist view that [...]
Rory Leishman: On March 31, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson dealt a devastating blow to the predominance of transgender ideologues, by announcing that his Conservative government would not proceed with a promise to ban transgender conversion therapy. What can account for this abrupt about-face on a key policy issue by a government and prime minister that have hitherto sedulously courted the favour [...]

Unlawful detention is expressly prohibited, as is the unlawful search of a citizen’s person or home. However, these rights and freedoms are subject to Article 1 of the Constitution, which declares [...]
Interim Staff: On March 23, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the European Parliament in Brussels, where he was condemned by a half-dozen Members of European Parliament (MEP). Trudeau talked about “rising threats to democracy” including Vladimir Putin’s Russia, inflation, and economic uncertainty. He told the half-empty chamber that “we must recommit ourselves to the work of strengthening our democracies, and demonstrate the [...]
Paul Tuns: On Mach 27, the 50th anniversary of the Rockefeller Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, more than 30 pro-life leaders condemned the report and the mentality behind it, and urged Washington lawmakers to respect human life from the moment of conception. The Commission was created by Congress after being requested by President Richard Nixon in the aftermath of [...]
Oswald Clark: The Biden administration’s proposed 2023 budget, released March 28, did not include the Hyde Amendment which prohibits federal taxpayer dollars from being used through Medicaid or government-employee benefits programs to pay for abortions except to save the life of the woman or in cases of rape or incest. The proposed 2023 budget also included a funding increase for the United [...]
