I see where you are getting at, that one ought to take the "how does it benefit or hamr families" perspective into every decision. But isn´t claiming "all policy being family policy" a little too far fetched? Like the question whether to build a highway crossing town A or B. Does that too involve family policy?

Napa gets funding from Charles Koch (who is neither Catholic, socially conservative, nor pro-life). "Family policy" from conservative/libertarian aligned sources will always be weak sauce compared to proposals coming from the left ("Cutting Medicaid and SNAP actually helps families...") This is why this article mostly avoids direct discussion of social spending, taxation, labor policy, etc.
