AWC Family Foundation lecture: The Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship Hadley Arkes Edward Ney Professor of Jurisprudence, Amherst College "Recasting the Case for Religious Freedom" In light of cases now before the Supreme Court, Hadley Arkes suggests that we need to recast and sharpen the argument for religious freedom.
Hadley Arkes makes the case that we should not frame our pro-life and other positions as mere beliefs (or mere religious sentiments which can be easily dismissed) but rather as items of moral knowledge that are publicly accessible and commend themselves to anyone through reason.
