National Review (NR) is a biweekly magazine and web site, founded by the late author William F. Buckley, Jr. in 1955 and based in New York City. It describes itself as "America's most widely read and influential magazine and web site for Republican/conservative news, commentary, and opinion." It is usually considered the centre of intellectual activity for the American Conservative movement in the twentieth century. While the print version of the magazine is available online to subscribers, the web site's free content is essentially a separate publication.

From 1952 to 1972, one in five white unwed mothers and one in ten unwed mothers overall chose adoption. On January 22, 1973, the cultural earthquake that was Roe v. Wade changed all that.
