A priority for social conservatives is using law and government policy to encourage if not actually require marriage and strengthen the family, with reproduction and parental child-rearing understood as the latter's chief though not only tasks.
Historically, that concern has always been fundamental to any recognizable conservatism sans phrase, anywhere in the civilized world.
Libertarians gladly sacrifice individual liberty to property and the market while liberals sacrifice it to claims of racial, social, and sexual justice.
But neither is willing to sacrifice it in any serious degree to this conservative aim.
