Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant technology. It is already in our phones, classrooms, workplaces, hospitals, public offices, social media feeds, and private conversations.

There is now a substantial body of writing on these and other related topics for interested readers and scholars. While sorting through the past 45 years of my own research and writing about family law and family ethics, I discovered that most of it fits into one of four thematic areas: children’s ...

A wound is a rupture of a person’s physical and/or spiritual integrity, and a wound that remains open cannot heal. The gender ideologue surgeon’s experimental cut that creates a facsimile organ opposite to a person’s sex is, in reality, the deliberate opening and maintenance of a wound.
