Danielle Allen was a conservative pro-life Republican in college before she did an internship at National Review, she told an interviewer Sunday.
Allen, a Harvard professor who is exploring a run for governor of Massachusetts, said her family was conservative and that her father even ran for U.S. Senate as a Reagan Republican in California. Then she got an internship the summer after her junior year at National Review, a conservative magazine in New York City founded by William F. Buckley Jr., and the experience, she said, changed her political outlook.
If President Joe Biden has it his way, Congress will repeal the Hyde Amendment — and at least a couple of Democrats in the Massachusetts legislature won't be happy about it.
President Biden proposed a $6 trillion federal budget on Friday, May 28 that does not include the Hyde Amendment, which prevents the use of federal funding to pay for abortions except in cases of rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother. It prevents an estimated 50,000 abortions per year, according to National Review.
