Heritage Foundation calls for U.S. policy to ‘save and restore the American family’
This story raises questions about governance, accountability, and American values.
The coverage treats Heritage’s call to “save and restore the American family” as if it’s mainly a culture-war brand exercise, with Project 2025 framed as a lurking “blueprint” for takeover. That assumes the status quo is neutral and that reform is inherently suspect. It isn’t, and it isn’t.

The coverage treats Heritage’s call to “save and restore the American family” as if it’s mainly a culture-war brand exercise, with Project 2025 framed as a lurking “blueprint” for takeover. That assumes the status quo is neutral and that reform is inherently suspect. It isn’t, and it isn’t.
What gets missed is the practical case: families are being squeezed by costs, fragmented by incentives that punish marriage and work, and sidelined by institutions that answer to nobody. Conservatives aren’t asking Washington to micromanage the home. They’re asking government to stop making it harder to form and sustain one.
A serious agenda starts with fairness in the tax and benefit code, parental rights and public trust, and a rule-of-law approach to executive power. Add border and economic policy that rewards work, not dependency, and you’re talking about stability, not ideology.
If the family is a basic civic institution, then strengthening it is not extremism. It’s a test of whether policy still serves the public.
