IN-PERSON EVENT: THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN: RECLAIMING A LOST VISION
------------------------------------------------------------
Have the gains achieved by modern feminists in the political and economic spheres relied on a too-narrow idea of liberty and equality at the expense of a richer understanding of the natural duties that we owe to one another? If so, what are the costs of this, and can the proper foundation of equal rights be reclaimed?
Join us for an in-person event on Tuesday, July 20, at which EPPC Fellow Erika Bachiochi will offer remarks reflecting on the themes of her new book, The Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision. The book offers an original look at the development of feminism in the United States and proposes a philosophical and legal framework for rights grounded in our responsibilities.

The event will be moderated by EPPC President Ryan T. Anderson and will include responses from Mary Eberstadt and Ashley McGuire. The event will not be live-streamed, but a video will be published after the event concludes.
This event is hosted by the Catholic Information Center and co-sponsored by EPPC and the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture. The book is being published in the de Nicola Center’s book series with University of Notre Dame Press.

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Stephen P. White
The Catholic Thing

** WHY STATES SHOULD BAR CRT
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Stanley Kurtz
National Review Online
------------------------------------------------------------
EPPC Senior Fellow Stanley Kurtz submitted testimony to the Ohio State Legislature last week regarding a bill that would bar core concepts of critical race theory, and core practices of protest civics, from K-12 education in Ohio. This testimony makes the case for such legislation in general, and for bills inspired by the model Partisanship Out of Civics Act in particular, which combats CRT without violating the First Amendment. Read More ([link removed])
[See also Mr. Kurtz’s piece ([link removed]) on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s veto of a bill that “could very easily have allowed CRT to creep back into Florida’s education system.” Mr. Kurtz has led the effort to raise the alarm about such bills.]

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Postdoctoral Fellow Nathanael Blake
The Federalist
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
Republicans rightly worry that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s proposed select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot will descend into a partisan, anti-Donald Trump witch hunt. But the best way to minimize the chances of that happening is to participate in the investigation. Read More ([link removed])

** MEET THE FLYOVER WOMEN POP CULTURE IGNORES
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Carrie Gress
The Federalist
------------------------------------------------------------
Fly-over women are the moms and daughters and wives and sisters and friends the media overlooks because they are religious or frumpy or don’t have sexy day jobs. But mostly, the issue is that they don’t believe in abortion and they do believe in the sanctity of marriage. Read More ([link removed])

** THE ‘RIGHT TO CHOOSE’ WHAT, JEN PSAKI?
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Visiting Fellow Alexandra DeSanctis
National Review Online
------------------------------------------------------------
Jen Psaki and Joe Biden, like the tremendous majority of those who support legal abortion, are understandably reticent when it comes to questions of what exactly occurs in an abortion procedure, what exactly it means for a woman to exercise her “right to choose,” and who exactly is dwelling inside of a pregnant mother.

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
China’s crushing of the pro-democracy Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily shows that this Communist leopard will not change its spots. The West, and especially the United States, should not sit idly by. Read More ([link removed])
