The upcoming book by Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, titled Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington To Save America, is set to shake up the status quo with its scathing critique of modern culture. Roberts condemns IVF, abortion, contraceptives, childless adults, and even dog parks as part of the so-called “antifamily culture” promoted by the U.S. government.
Roberts particularly targets IVF, despite its popularity among Americans, claiming it incentivizes women to delay starting a family. His views align with a recent Alabama Supreme Court decision regarding frozen embryos as children, leading to a swift public backlash and legislative action to protect reproductive treatments.
Former President Donald Trump and his allies have also weighed in on the importance of improving access to IVF, further fueling the debate. Roberts contends that contraceptive technology and other societal shifts are contributing to rising abortion rates, contrary to historical trends.
While some have distanced themselves from Roberts’ controversial views, his work has found support among conservative figures like Senator J.D. Vance, who endorsed the book as essential reading for the future of conservative thought.
In a bizarre twist, Roberts takes aim at dog parks as symbols of the “antifamily culture” permeating government policies, underscoring his critique with a contentious example from a D.C. neighborhood.
