A new book supporting traditional father-mother families, sure to be hated by the usual suspects.  The gist is putting first what is good, long term, for kids, not what adults desire.

Here is their website with the same name:

From the Foreword by Robert George:

QuoteWhich should we prioritize: the desires of adults or the needs of children? There is no avoiding this question—for any of us. And there is no way to be on both sides of it. You must—you will—come down on one side or the other. So, in the words of the old Union anthem: "Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?"
Let me make my own position clear: I stand on the side of prioritizing the needs of children. And that means I stand with Katy Faust and Them Before Us.
Children have a right to be conceived and brought up in conditions most conducive to their flourishing. You heard (or read) me correctly. I said a right. At the foundation of that right is the fact that children are human beings (persons) and, as such, bearers of profound, inherent, and equal dignity. And children are vulnerable in nearly every way and in need of care and protection over the course of many years as they grow and develop physically, intellectually, morally, and spiritually. It is wrong to do things, or to support policies or practices, that deprive children of essential conditions of their flourishing.

More from George's Foreword:

QuoteThat the marriage culture is in decline today is well-known. Increasingly, people also are recognizing that the consequences of that decline are harshest in the poorest, most vulnerable sectors of our society—and harshest of all on children in those sectors. They, ultimately, have been the victims of the widespread family breakdown and failure of family formation. They are paying the heaviest price for the sexual "liberation" movement that gave us no-fault divorce, widespread promiscuity, the normalization of non-marital sexual cohabitation, out-of-wedlock childbearing and child-rearing, and fatherlessness. The imbecilic slogan of my generation, the self-proclaimed "me" generation, was "If it feels good, do it." Well, many people lived by that slogan, and countless children suffered and will continue to suffer as a result—as a consequence of practices hostile, indeed antithetical, to the flourishing of children.
