ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Marriage, family formation, and pro-life policy are more connected than many people realize.
Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of AAPLOG, talks with Melanie Israel, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a platinum sponsor of MBEC 2026, about how think tanks turn research into action through legislation, coalition building, and advocacy. They unpack a decade of pro-life policy shifts, the post-Roe landscape, and emerging questions around abortion, conscience rights, religious liberty, and end-of-life issues.
Listen to and share this episode if you’re curious as to why marriage and healthy relationships matter to family well-being, how policy can support moms, babies, and fathers, and what’s next for health reform and the Restoring American Wellness initiative.
Thank you to the Heritage Foundation for being a platinum sponsor of MBEC 2026 and for being a partner in pro-life policy.
