The Heritage Foundation
Melanie Israel, Policy Analyst
The Supreme Court will soon hear arguments for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case that may result in a more principled basis for abortion jurisprudence than the status quo.

A new frontier is evolving: Pill-induced at-home abortion enables women to undergo the procedure without interacting with a provider face-to-face.

Marriage and religion have been in decline in America since the 1960s. What are the roots of this decline and how can it be reversed? JP de Gance, President of Communio, has coauthored a new book entitled Endgame: The Church’s Strategic Move to Save Faith and Family in America, which draws from new research to determine the root causes of the faith and family crisis, how to address them, and how churches can implement these new strategies.

The Heritage Foundation
Hosted by Thomas Jipping, Senior Legal Fellow at Heritage’s Meese Center
