Women and the Draft
By   |   02.18.16

The importance of Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away this past weekend, is based not just in what he said in his U.S. Supreme Court opinions, but how he said it.

02.16.16
The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) recently released an analysis of abortion as an election issue.

She also notes that relatively low percentage of voters cast their vote solely on the issue of abortion. But a closer look at AEI’s analysis indicates that abortion has actually increased in importance over the past 20 years.

Is Obama’s Stance on Religious Liberty Credible?
02.10.16
I have tried to make sense of Mr. Obama's latest utterance about religious freedom. I am having a difficult celebrating his rhetoric. Somehow the President's recent words to the Islamic community in Baltimore about his regard for the religious freedoms of Americans fail to persuade and fall heavily upon the ear with a resounding lack of authenticity. His words of praise for religious freedom are again weighed down with multiple contradictions...
