** ARE WOMEN STILL HUMAN?
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Carl R. Trueman and EPPC Visiting Fellow Alexandra DeSanctis
Public Discourse
------------------------------------------------------------
The issue of abortion cannot be reduced to the narrow question of the status of the child in the womb. The answers rest upon broader assumptions about what it means to be human.

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
Syndicated Column
------------------------------------------------------------

By EPPC Cardinal Francis George Fellow Mary FioRito

** VIDEO: The Transgender Revolution in the Classroom: What Parents Need to Know
------------------------------------------------------------
Transgender ideology is flooding public school classrooms. What does this mean for our children? And what can parents do? This webinar from the Ethics and Public Policy Center equips parents with the knowledge and insights they need to recognize and resist the promotion of transgender ideology in public schools—and to protect their children from the transgender revolution. EPPC Fellows Patrick T. Brown (Fellow in Family Policy) and Mary Rice Hasson (Person and Identity Project) and author Maria Keffler (author of Desist, Detrans, Detox: Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult) share expertise, sound advice, and the latest research in an engaging conversation led by Catholic Studies Program Coordinator Ella Ramsay. Essential viewing/listening for parents of school-age children!

** VIDEO: On Vaccines and Mandates: Moral, Medical, and Legal Considerations
------------------------------------------------------------
How should we think about the morality of Covid-19 vaccines, given that all of those currently available in the United States benefited in one way or another from a cell line that was derived from an aborted child? How should we think about the morality of government mandates relating to the vaccines, and to businesses that impose their own mandates? How do religious liberty and conscientious objection to the vaccines factor in? This webinar addresses all of these questions, and more, drawing on the extensive expertise of EPPC Fellow Aaron Kheriaty, a medical doctor; EPPC Fellow Roger Severino, a lawyer with expertise on civil liberties and healthcare; and professor Jason Eberl, a philosopher specializing in bioethics. EPPC President Ryan T. Anderson moderates the discussion.

** WHO HAS BEEN POLITICIZING THE HHS OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS?
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Roger Severino
National Review Online
------------------------------------------------------------
Under HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, and under the day-to-day direction of a political appointee, the HHS Office for Civil Rights has lost its way and is being politicized beyond all recognition. Read More ([link removed])

** CLINGING TO GOD AND GRAMMAR
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Carl R. Trueman
First Things
------------------------------------------------------------
In times past, progressive politicians described those they despised as clinging to “God and guns.” I suspect that we are not too far from a time when they will insult those they deplore for clinging to God and grammar. Read More ([link removed])

** SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Francis X. Maier
Public Discourse
------------------------------------------------------------
One of the disagreeable facts about members of every elite modern leadership class—take the Boston to Washington corridor, for example—is that they tend to nibble, metaphorically, on the people they lead. Read More ([link removed])

** GOING FOR BROKE
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Stephen P. White
The Catholic Thing
------------------------------------------------------------
By almost any measure, America is the wealthiest nation in the world. Whether compared to other nations of the world today or in the past, ours stands out as perhaps the most affluent society in history. Are we better for it? Read More ([link removed])

** NOEM MUST FIX SOUTH DAKOTA STANDARDS FIASCO
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Stanley Kurtz
National Review Online
------------------------------------------------------------
Hard-left activists have taken over the writing of K-12 history and civics standards in ruby-red South Dakota. Governor Kristi Noem’s administration has belatedly attempted to set things right, but the troubled standards are nowhere near fixed. Read More ([link removed])

** DEMOCRATS’ IMMIGRATION POLICIES ARE A GIFT TO REPUBLICANS
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
The image of thousands of Haitian refugees huddling under a bridge in Del Rio, Tex., is forcing illegal immigration back into the national consciousness. That’s bad news for President Biden and his fellow Democrats, as this is a major political vulnerability for them. Read More ([link removed])

** DOES THE EEOC REALLY GET TO DECIDE WHETHER RFRA APPLIES IN EMPLOYMENT-DISCRIMINATION LAWSUITS?
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Policy Analyst Rachel N. Morrison
National Review Online
------------------------------------------------------------
RFRA should be available in all cases as a defense whenever the government substantially burdens religious exercise — regardless of whether the government is a party to the lawsuit. Read More ([link removed])

** DON’T LOSE SIGHT OF THE INFLATION MONSTER
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
August’s inflation report was heralded as a sign that rising prices are slowing down. If only that were true. People so want to believe that inflation is temporary that they will seize on any good news as a silver lining. Read More ([link removed])

On the latest episode of EPPC’s Faith Angle podcast ([link removed]) , EPPC Faith Angle Forum Director Josh Good is joined by Paul D. Miller of Georgetown University and Nadine Maenza of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom to consider why events unfolded the way they did in America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, and what that means for America’s presence and foreign policy around the world.
