| | Conservatism - Encyclopedia of Political Information |
 | | In the United States, the Republican Party is generally considered to be the party of conservatism. | | | This has been the case since the 1960s, when the conservative wing of that party consolidated its hold, causing it to shift permanently to the right of the Democratic Party. | | | The Neoconservative movement originates in American liberalism, primarily from the Northeast or the West Coast, but is marked by a significant move to the right from the 1960s onwards. |

| | Comment Magazine - "Social conservatism's Canadian barriers" by Paul Tuns |
| | The social conservative movement grew slowly and in reaction to various developments including the sexual revolution, feminism, liberal divorce laws, abortion on demand, the growing availability of pornography, and threats against private, religious education. | | | When Adam Daifallah and Tasha Kheiriddin argue in Rescuing Canada's Right that bringing up abortion or same-sex marriage leads to Conservatives' losing on election day, the proper response is not that it is untrue but that such a claim is unknowable. | | | Robert Ivan Martin says in his book, The Most Dangerous Branch: How the Supreme Court of Canada has Undermined Our law and Our Democracy, Charter politics and the judicialization of politics have led to all social issues' becoming legal issues where the clashes of rights are adjudicated by unelected judges. |

| | Not Dead Yet: Social Conservatism [Free Republic] |
| | My point is that as we recognize both the importance and potential appeal of economic conservatism even though the average voter is to the left of the Chicago or Austrian schools, the same case can be made for social conservatism when voters are to the left of the Christian Coalition. | | | Strengthening mediating institutions like the family, supporting home schooling, transferring the responsibility for children from the state to parents all are conducive to smaller government. | | | Disclaimer: Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management. |

| | Since 1988, when the Supreme Court struck down the country’s not—very—restrictive abortion law, there has been no abortion law in Canada. | | | The Canadian Alliance paid the price for being against abortion, but its pro—life position was so weak that it did not attract voters who are troubled by the more extreme aspects of the abortion license in Canada. | | | Far from reining in his cabinet ministers and spin doctors, the Prime Minister gave them a wink and a nod. |

| | Social conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Social conservatism is a belief in traditional or natural law-based morality and social mores and the desire to preserve these in present day society, often through civil law or regulation. | | | It may be, for instance, socially conservative to promote "traditional" marriage in a mainline Protestant, Catholic, or Latter-Day Saints community, but socially conservative to promote polygamy in a devoutly Muslim or fundamentalist Mormon community. | | | Though most common in American Conservatism—indeed, international observers often wrongly believe it to be the whole of the US Conservative movement—it does have its counterparts outside the United States—in the UK, it is evinced in the work of writers like Peter Hitchens and in publications like the Salisbury Review. |

| | Mike Harris, the former Premier of Ontario (elected in 1995 and 1999) was able to drag the provincial Progressive Conservative party in a right-wing direction, although his activism was mostly confined to economic and fiscal issues. | | | There can be perceived a constant pre-empting of discourse against social conservatives, in the mass media and mass-education systems, the state bureaucracies and social services, and the courts. | | | The Canadian Alliance (which elected 66 MPs in the November 2000 federal election, mostly from Western Canada) (and which exists solely at the federal level) is probably the main home for so-called small-c conservatives today. |
