The Heritage Foundation Wants to Send American Women Back Half a Century

"The Heritage Foundation — the think tank behind Project 2025, which has had an outsize influence on executive branch policy in the second Trump administration — seems to want to take a time machine back to when women were financially dependent on men and gay marriage was not legal, but the authors can’t decide exactly how far back they want to go. They call the report “a culturewide Manhattan Project that marshals America’s political, social and economic capital to restore the natural family.” (“Natural,” in their parlance, is the marriage of a man and a woman.) Comparing their natalist dreams to the creation of the nuclear bomb suggests that they believe they can achieve their goals only through destruction."
