Dear
Reader,
To borrow a phrase, I think many of us on Friday found ourselves surprised by hope.

In addition to saving innocent human lives, Dobbs affirms the integrity of our constitutional order and chastens the progressive elites who execute end-run after end-run around it.

Many of us have grown accustomed to saying “No.” There’s a certain comfort in being the opposition party.

Dobbs encourages us to say “Yes.” Yes to the sanctity of life, Yes to support for mothers and families, and, ultimately, Yes to the natural order created by God.

First Things has clearly and consistently said “Yes” to a culture of life since our founding in 1990. As the debate moves to new terrain, will you join First Things in saying “Yes” to a culture of life? Make your tax-deductible gift to the First Things 2022 Spring Campaign today.

The last word of the culture of death is always “No.” Consider the rallying cry of Jane’s Revenge, a radical pro-abortion domestic terrorist group: “If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you.”

On the other hand, the “Yes” of the culture of life begets more “Yeses.”

First Things celebrates the Yes of transcendent art, of masterful prose, and of philosophical contemplation. We affirm all good faith explorations of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.

And we are confident that in the public square, the Party of Yes will ultimately defeat the Party of No.

With four days to go, our 2022 Spring Campaign stands at $513,000, $87,000 short of our $600,000 goal. Place your vote of confidence in the Party of Yes by making a contribution to the First Things 2022 Spring Campaign today.
