  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Michael New, a senior associate scholar at CLI and an assistant professor of social research at The Catholic University of America, authored the report. He was aided by researchers Mia Steupert, Tessa Cox and Elyse Gaitan.

Researchers considered data from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, from 1976 to 2025 to determine the overall impact of the Hyde Amendment.
