Sen. Jim Banks: Pro‑Family Policy Is Now Central to Conservatism

The new guard of conservatives is putting family policy first and has an understanding that pro-family policy has a direct correlation to strengthening the economy.

“We have a ripe moment in this new era to advance causes that are really good for families,” Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., said at an event celebrating The Heritage Foundation’s newest policy paper, “Saving America by Saving the Family.” “The federal government has a real role to play here,” he continued.

According to the paper, America is facing a crisis. Fewer than half of U.S. households are headed by a married couple, 40% of children are born outside of marriage, and the fertility rate dropped to a record low in 2024—1.59 births per woman, well below the 2.1 births per woman needed to meet population replacement.
