Highlights from The Conservative Revolution include the way Bernardi says women use abortion as "an abhorrent form of birth control", and describes the pro-abortion rights movement as "pro-death." He believes religion should play a more prominent role in politics (and by religion he means Christianity), and that we all need to revert back to more traditional values, particularly in relation to families. You see, Bernardi thinks that not all families are created equal — of course, the traditional family is the most, in fact the only, acceptable way to go. He is critical of stepfamilies, says being conceived through IVF makes you a "commodity", and being raised by a single mother causes girls to be promiscuous and boys to become criminals. Don't even get him started on same-sex marriage.
