In the 1992 Supreme Court case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Justice Kennedy gave a definition of liberty: “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.” What are the origins of this definition? Was there a Constitutional Morality at the time of the Founding that helps answer this question? In celebration of Constitution Day, three panelists will offer different responses to these questions.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
