as posted by the channel

In this episode:

- Hadley Arkes, founder and director of the James Wilson Institute, joins the podcast to discuss his newest book, Mere Natural Law.

- How the Dobbs ruling dodged the essential moral questions at the heart of abortion, and why conservative jurisprudence has failed to do so.
