LIBERAL POLICY MAKERS, ACTIVIST JUDGES, AND MUCH OF THE MEDIA AND ACADEMIA CONSIDERED TRADITIONAL MORAL VALUES NOTHING MORE THAN THE VESTIGES OF A BYGONE ERA. IN 1983, FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE HEART OF WASHINGTON, D.C. WITH THE MISSION TO EDUCATE AMERICANS ABOUT THE CENTRAL ROLE THE FAMILY PLAYS IN THE NATION'S WELL-BEING. FRC WOULD SERVE AS A STRONG REJOINDER TO THOSE WORKING TO UNDERMINE THE FAMILY AND THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES UPON WHICH OUR NATION WAS FOUNDED AND WOULD DEMONSTRATE THE VERACITY AND EFFICACY OF THOSE VALUES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY. ALTHOUGH FRC HAS WORKED SUCCESSFULLY TO TEMPER THE POLICY OF UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO ABORTION-ON-DEMAND, THIS TRAGEDY REMAINS WITH US. LIBERAL POLICY MAKERS AND JUDICIAL ACTIVISTS CONTINUE TO ASSAIL THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE, AND LIBERAL SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS OUTNUMBER AND OUTSPEND FRC. WITH THE EXPANSION OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE THROUGH THE OBERGEFELL SUPREME COURT RULING, THERE HAS BEEN A REDUCTION OF AMERICANS' RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND CONSCIENCE RIGHTS. FRC HAS BECOME A LEADER IN EXPOSING THIS SEVERE PROBLEM, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO DEFEND AMERICANS' FUNDAMENTAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS. WITH FAITH THAT RIGHT MAKES MIGHT, AS ABRAHAM LINCOLN ONCE SAID, FRC CONTINUES TO ADVANCE A PRO-FAITH, PRO-FAMILY, AND PRO-FREEDOM AGENDA WITH GREAT EFFECT. PUBLIC POLICY--FRC'S POLICY ANALYSTS DEVELOP RESEARCH PAPERS, LEGAL BRIEFS, AND REGULAR EMAIL PUBLICATIONS ON A WIDE VARIETY OF FAMILY ISSUES. THESE INCLUDE BOOKLETS, OPINION EDITORIALS, BROCHURES, ISSUE BRIEF PAPERS, ISSUE ANALYSIS PAPERS, BLOG POSTS, AND LECTURE SUMMARIES, AND THE BI-WEEKLY SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE REVIEW NEWSLETTER. SOME OF THE PUBLICATIONS THAT WE PRODUCED IN 2018 INCLUDE: "HOW TO RESPOND TO THE LGBT MOVEMENT; "WOMEN & PORNOGRAPHY; "THE LINK BETWEEN PORNOGRAPHY, SEX TRAFFICKING, AND ABORTION; "IS GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGERY 'MEDICALLY NECESSARY?; "THE EEOC'S EVER-EXPANDING DEFINITION OF 'SEX DISCRIMINATION; "LEFT-WING ANTI-SEMITISM: THE GREATEST CAMPUS THREAT IS IGNORED BY THE SPLC; "RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND NATIONAL SECURITY; "THE CHILD WELFARE PROVIDER INCLUSION ACT: ENSURING A FREE MARKETPLACE OF ADOPTION PROVIDERS; "DISMEMBERMENT ABORTION; "TRANSGENDER POLICY COULD COST MILITARY BILLIONS OVER TEN YEARS; "THE SPLC'S INCURSION INTO EDUCATION; AND "ONE YEAR LATER: THE IMPACT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER PROTECTING RELIGIOUS LIBERTY."AT OUR 2018 FRC SPEAKER SERIES EVENTS, NATIONAL LEADERS AND EXPERTS ADDRESSED THE HOTTEST TOPICS OF THE DAY, INCLUDING THE CENSORSHIP OF FREE SPEECH ON THE INTERNET, DEFENDING THE RIGHTS OF FAITH-BASED ADOPTION PROVIDERS, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND NATIONAL SECURITY, THE CONSERVATIVE RESPONSE TO SOCIAL LIBERTARIANISM, THE ETHICAL AND LIFE-SAVING IMPORTANCE OF ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH, ASSESSING THE CULTURAL AND MORAL TRENDS OF TODAY'S TEENS, AND MORE.ON AUGUST 16, 2017, WE FILED AN AMICUS BRIEF, ALONG WITH THE NORTH CAROLINA VALUES COALITION, AT THE CERTIORARI STAGE OF THE SUPREME COURT CASE OF ARLENE'S FLOWERS V.
