ABORTION RIGHTS AND WOMEN'S EQUAL CITIZENSHIP
By EPPC Fellow Erika Bachiochi
Newsweek
The time has come instead to discard the male-normative theories of equality on which the putative right to abortion is constructed today. Instead, let’s make room, as earlier generations of women’s rights advocates did, for vulnerable and dependent children, and for the women—and men—responsible for their care. Read More

By EPPC Senior Fellow Francis X. Maier
First Things

On the latest episode of EPPC’s Faith Angle podcast, EPPC Faith Angle Forum Director Josh Good is joined by Luke Bretherton of Duke Divinity School and Shadi Hamid of the Brookings Institution, who explore the religious nature of American politics and the political implications of American religion. Drawing from Christian and Muslim political-theological resources, they discuss the roots (on both the left and right) of today’s increasing pull toward illiberalism, the tendency of religion to take on the role of identity politics, and the mediating role of religious institutions in society.
