Why Children’s Right Must Come Before Adult Desires

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

The narrative that a child only needs love and safety to thrive is being challenged by Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, a nonprofit organization that promotes social policies to protect the rights of children.

In her new book, “Them Before Us: Why We Need a Global Children's Rights Movement,” Faust argues that a child needs a stable home with love from both a mother and a father.

Faust joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to share her story and why it's critical that the needs of the child play a key role in debates about same-sex parenting, divorce, sperm- or egg-donor children, and so on.

We also cover these stories:

  • The Biden administration announces that the government will distribute 25 million masks.
  • A federal judge in Texas blocks President Joe Biden’s deportation pause in a nationwide order.
  • Lindsay Boylan, a former aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, details sexual harassment allegations against the governor.
