In this Action University 2025 keynote, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse examines the sexual revolution not as a series of disconnected social issues, but as a single, coherent ideology aimed at redefining human nature itself. Drawing from her book The Sexual State, she explains how contraception, divorce, and gender ideology share a common false premise—that sexual behavior can be separated from biological reality without consequences.

Dr. Morse traces the long-term social, legal, and cultural fallout of this ideology, including the erosion of marriage, the destabilization of the family, and the rise of state power over private life. She argues that what was promised as freedom has instead produced contradiction, coercion, and dependency, and she makes the case that Christian teaching on marriage, family, and the human body remains intellectually defensible, humane, and socially necessary.

The talk concludes with a call for clarity, courage, and resistance to ideological pressure, emphasizing that authentic freedom begins with truth about the human person.
