Lee Edwards, Distinguished Fellow in Conservative Thought at the Institute for Constitutional Government at The Heritage Foundation, joins Tom Shakely and Noah Brandt to reflect on the human right to life in the context of a lifetime in politics—including his relationships with Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley, Jr., and Ronald Reagan. Lee Edwards is a leading historian of American conservatism and the author or editor of 25 books, including Goldwater: The Man Who Made a Revolution, The Essential Ronald Reagan: A Profile in Courage, Justice, and Wisdom, Mediapolitik: How the Mass Media Have Transformed World Politics, Globalization of the Economy: The Impact on Politics, Family, and Society, and Just Right: A Life in Pursuit of Liberty. Lee shares the role he played in the founding of Americans United for Life in the early 1970s, and the necessity of its work far into the future.
