By W. James Antle III The Week If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade (1973), it will be a major victory for former President Donald Trump if he chooses to run again in 2024. Yes, those are two big ifs. But social conservatives have a relationship with Republican presidents […]

Some of the major culture war issues of the future are going to be polygamy/polyamory, prostitution/sex work, and “minor-attracted persons.” And these issues are going to be just as contentious on the Left as they are between the Left and Right. Meanwhile, it looks like the abortion wars […]

By Caroline Mimbs Nyce Will Roe v. Wade be reversed, or simply defanged? Today the Supreme Court signaled that it will uphold an abortion ban in Mississippi (not to be confused with the law in Texas that caused an uproar earlier this year). For that law to stay […]
My guess is that if Roe v. Wade falls it will be another escalation of the culture wars on the level of the two Trump elections, the pandemic, the George Floyd protests/riots, and January 6. Some states will move to liberalize abortion rights even further, while others will […]
