[Today’s guest post by Frank Ludwig is part of our paid blogging program.] In ancient Rome it was customary to present a newborn child to the family patriarch who would decide whether the infant would live or die.

I am in the middle of reading Free Speech for Me– But Not for Thee: How the American Left and Right Relentlessly Censor Each Other, by the wonderful journalist and First Amendment champion Nat Hentoff (who happens to be a pro-life atheist as well). The book was first published two decades ago. Sadly, it remains […]
