Polling done a decade ago by the senior White House adviser finds its way into a new federal rule cheered by religious activists.
Kellyanne Conway was a Republican pollster when she appeared at a 2009 press conference, flanked by more than a dozen people in white doctors’ coats, to unveil surveys she conducted on religious freedom and medicine.
But the prominent use of her polling in a relatively obscure federal rule — albeit one that has aroused passions on the right — is a reminder of her long pre-Trump career partnering with anti-abortion and conservative groups, a legacy that is still quietly resonating as the president courts evangelical voters.
“This rule, and what [the Trump administration] does next to enforce it, will have a profound effect on vulnerable people nationwide,” said Katie Keith, a Georgetown law professor who’s tracked the health department’s regulations. “That leaves a lot riding on very old survey data — and the assumptions that HHS officials make because of it.”
Trump announced the rule in a Rose Garden ceremony on Thursday. "Together, we are building a culture that cherishes the dignity and worth of human life," he said before a group of religious leaders gathered a the White House on Thursday.
