Dear Friend,

I want to share with you some highlights from the busy year we had at EPPC in 2023. As you’ll see in our Annual Report ([link removed]) , our scholars and programs spent the year shaping policy and renewing culture true to our founding principles: “a continuous effort to relate the facts of a policy decision to its economic, political, and human costs and consequences.” I hope you'll take the time to read the whole report, but here are some of the most exciting ways EPPC has made a difference to the future of freedom in America:

** Shaping Policy in 2023
------------------------------------------------------------

Senior Fellow Stanley Kurtz, who was recently described by his critics as a “power player shaping the right’s recent offensives in [education],” is at the front of the national defense of American ideals in K–12 schools and on college campuses. Inspired by Kurtz’s model legislation, Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law banning faculty “diversity statements” and implementing campus intellectual-diversity policies.

Since the Supreme Court brought an end to five decades of constitutionally protected abortion on demand, the conflict over abortion has only intensified. In 2023, scholars from our Life and Family Initiative published 100 articles and two books, gave dozens of lectures and media interviews to audiences as diverse as the Harvard student body and the Heritage Foundation, and engaged legislators at both the federal and state levels.

EPPC’s HHS Accountability Project, directed by Rachel Morrison, intervened on 15 proposed rules—more than one each month on average—countering a deluge of regulatory actions by the Biden administration that seek to promote abortion, push gender ideology, and restrict religious freedom and conscience rights.

Today, rapidly advancing biological knowledge and technical power has the capacity to radically alter human life and society. In 2023, our Bioethics and American Democracy program partnered with the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists and Alliance Defending Freedom to train 92 expert witnesses, mostly physicians, to testify on abortion and other life issues in key legislative hearings and court cases.

We’re profoundly grateful for the friendship of our supporters. Thanks to your generosity, our work in 2023 had an outsized influence. As we move forward through the unique challenges and opportunities of the coming election, EPPC is prepared to fight―with intellectual rigor and civility―for the common good and the long-term flourishing of our nation.
