If we want to protect and strengthen our nation, conservatives in Congress must be committed to promoting a pro-family agenda when Republicans win back the House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The RSC named ten principles that should guide the work of \u201cRestoring the American Family.\u201d These efforts include protecting children from \u201cfar-left ideologies\u201d and from the internet, supporting policies that give flexibility to working families, enabling parents to make decisions about their children, supporting a \u201cflexible and pluralistic approach to childcare,\u201d eliminating policies that discourage family formation, reforming foster care and the adoption system, and supporting efforts to end abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American family is in a dire state and flawed government policy has accelerated its decline,\u201d the RSC said. \u201cTo that extent, these wounds are skin deep. Conservatives can halt and then reverse these trends by undoing the anti-family policies of the last decades and enacting policies to Restore the American Family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan a nation with fewer births than ever before be pro-life?\u201d the RSC asked. \u201cCan a country be prosperous, if the traditional single-earner model is an unattainable luxury? Is American meritocracy alive and well, if over half of children are raised in family structures that disadvantage them at birth?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initiative is supported by the American Principles Project, Eagle Forum, and the Fifth &#038; Freedom Coalition, as well as the Family Policy Alliance, Catholic Vote, Students for Life, and a slew of other groups that highlight the importance of the family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder the current Administration, American families are struggling,\u201d warned\u00a0Craig DeRoche, President and CEO of Family Policy Alliance. \u201cParents are being forced to defend their rights and fight radical ideologies in their children\u2019s schools. Female athletes are being forced to give up their opportunities to males in favor of a political agenda. And preborn children are not yet fully protected under the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerican families deserve better,\u201d he said as he endorsed the RSC initiative. \u201cThis Initiative is foundational in rebuilding an America where families flourish. We urge Congress to implement policies aligned with this vision, and we look forward to the day when America\u2019s families do not just survive, they thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Republican Study Committee (RSC) announced Thursday a framework of economic and social principles intended to \u201crestore the American family\u201d and to act as the \u201cfoundation of a pro-family conservative agenda when Republicans win back the House majority.\u201d The initiative comes as the nation grapples with declining birth rates, dwindling marriage rates, increasing numbers of &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":496,"featured_media":1501659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1501594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1501594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/496"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1501594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1501594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1501659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1501594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1501594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1501594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
