‘She’s One of Us’: Trump Official Kellyanne Conway’s Two Decades of Anti-Choice Advocacy
“She’s one of us.” That’s what Kristan Hawkins, president of anti-choice group Students for Life of America, said of news that Kellyanne Conway would speak at the annual “March for Life” event in Washington, D.C. the week after inauguration.
Conway, who will serve as White House counselor to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, has spent nearly two decades as a conservative talking head pushing her anti-choice claims under the guise of credibility offered by her work as a pollster. She founded The Polling Company, Inc./Woman Trend in 1995, working on behalf of anti-choice groups such as the Susan B. Anthony List, the Heritage Foundation, and Focus on the Family.
Since then, the firm has also advised a long list of stringently anti-choice politicians and groups, including incoming Vice President-elect Mike Pence, failed Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, and former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MI).
