Charlie Camosy on human progress and the challenge of achieving contentment
(Life, Liberty, and Law) Charlie Camosy, Associate Professor of Ethics at Fordham University and author of "Resisting Throwaway Culture: How a Consistent Life Ethic Can Unite a Fractured People", returns to "Life, Liberty, and Law" with Tom Shakely and Noah Brandt to speak about the good news that the 2010s were "the best decade ever" for billions of people. Charlie, Tom, and Noah reflect on the strange reality that, even as things appear to be better than ever, we so often feel as if the world is on the brink of collapse. Are we measuring human progress in the right ways? Why is it so difficult to achieve a feeling of contentment despite material prosperity?
Rep. Jody Hice: How the media subtly vilifies the pro-life movement
(Washington Examiner) To say the pro-life movement is “anti-abortion” denies that we equally care about the mother and preborn babies, as well as children who have been born into difficult circumstances.

This commitment to life and activism in our communities both go a long way in protecting the weakest members of our society.
Will a Supreme Court Case Spell the Beginning of the End of Abortion?
(The National Law Journal) The anti-abortion organization Americans United For Life goes a step further, urging the justices in an amicus brief to reexamine the landmark abortion rights decisions Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The brief contends that Roe has remained “radically unsettled” 47 years after the ruling. “After abandoning the constitutional rationale for the abortion right espoused in Roe, a majority of the Court has not settled on a coherent rationale, and the centralization of the abortion issue in the Court has made the Court and the Justices the focus of ferocious campaigns of personal destruction,” wrote Clarke Forsythe, counsel of record.
