Before More Women Are Harmed This week, the Wagner Center joined Advancing American Freedom (AAF) and other pro-life leaders in filing two amicus briefs before the United States Supreme Court in Louisiana v. FDA—a case that strikes at the heart of both constitutional government and the protection of vulnerable women. At issue is the FDA’s reckless 2021 decision to allow the abortion drug mifepristone to be prescribed and distributed without an in-person physician visit. In pr

This case raises fundamental moral and constitutional questions about the nature of freedom it

The recent decision to elevate the Islamic Republic of Iran to a vice-presidential role in a United Nations conference on nuclear non-proliferation exposes, yet again, a troubling disconnect between institutional form and moral substance. Defenders of the appointment are quick to note its procedural nature, one of many rotating positions. But such assurances miss the point. Leadership, even symbolic leadership, conveys legitimacy. And legitimacy untethered from truth invites

Washington, D.C. — In a significant development for religious liberty and constitutional law, the United States Supreme Court on Monday granted certiorari in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy , agreeing to review a case that raises fundamental questions about the First Amendment’s protection of religious institutions in the public square.
