Dear
Reader,
Wow.
Roe has fallen. Praise be to God.
Thousands, most likely millions, of innocent human lives will be saved as a result of this decision.
The pro-life cause is advanced by a passionate and diverse group of activists, thinkers, and—not least—normal American citizens who seek to live out their faith in the public square.
First Things is proud to do its part, having steadfastly articulated the intellectual case for life since our founding in 1990.
From John Finnis’ landmark essay “Abortion Is Unconstitutional” (April 2021) to our October 2021 “
Roe Must Fall” symposium and Hadley Arkes’ “On Overruling
Roe” (March 2022),
First Things continues to make the strongest possible case for a culture of life. Now, we are preparing to defend these gains, even as we articulate sound, life-affirming policies for a post-
Roe world.

The
Dobbs verdict is a decisive blow to our sexually libertine, autonomy-worshipping culture. But the powerful forces that animate it are not going away.
We have won the battle, and the broader war has now shifted to new terrain.
I promise you today that
First Things will continue to amplify pro-life voices as
we powerfully defend the culture of life in the public square.
This is a resounding victory, but hard work remains. Are you with us?
