GOP Strategists Face Backlash for Contraception Stance

Conservative women are criticizing Kellyanne Conway's push for the GOP to embrace pro-contraception messaging, arguing that it is a mistaken strategy that goes against pro-life principles. They believe that promoting contraception could actually increase the abortion rate by leading to more unplanned pregnancies. Instead, they suggest focusing on adoption, pro-life pregnancy centers, and highlighting the unique strengths of women and mothers. They also point out the potential health risks and side effects of birth control and argue that public sentiment on birth control is evolving, with a growing movement to seek alternative options for women's health.

"Kellyanne Conway Urges GOP to Embrace Contraception for Progressive Change"

Kellyanne Conway, former counselor to President Trump, is urging Republicans to focus on promoting contraception in order to counter Democrats' attacks that the GOP is anti-woman. Conway, along with lobbyist Susan Hirschmann and Independent Women's Voice CEO Heather Higgins, plans to share polling data showing overwhelming public support for policies that make contraception cheaper and more accessible. They argue that Republicans need to talk more about what they are for, rather than what they oppose, and warn that failure to address contraception could result in the loss of voters. However, progressive groups remain skeptical of the GOP's ability to rebrand themselves as champions of birth control, citing their record of supporting abortion and contraception restrictions.

Kellyanne Conway's Top Pick for Trump's VP Revealed

Kellyanne Conway, a former adviser to Donald Trump, is reportedly acting as an unofficial adviser to Francis Suarez, the two-term mayor of Miami who is considering a presidential run. Conway believes Suarez could be among the best possible draft picks for Trump’s running mate, framing his presidential campaign as an alternative to President Joe Biden, not an alternative to Trump. Suarez has visited the four big primary states and has a strong governing record to run on given his success in Miami. He has previously rejected Trumpism but now praises Trump for connecting with voters in a way that Democrats and the media will never understand.

The Controversial Financial Support of Justice Clarence Thomas

Kellyanne Conway defended payments made to Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, by her firm, the Polling Company, at the behest of conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo. The payments, totaling $80,000, were reportedly made between June 2011 and June 2012. Conway emphasized Thomas's involvement in the conservative movement and stated that her firm had no business before the court. The Judicial Education Project, advised by Leo, filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court later in 2012. Conway also connected critical reporting on Supreme Court justices to an incident last year in which a man was charged with attempted murder outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home.

The Controversial Gifts and Payments Surrounding Clarence Thomas

Conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo urged GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway to arrange a payment of $25,000 to Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, in January 2012. Leo emphasized that there be "no mention of Ginni" Thomas in the paperwork. The payment was made through Conway's Polling Company to the Judicial Education Project, which later submitted an amicus brief in a case before the Supreme Court. Leo said that Thomas's work in this case "did not involve anything" related to the Supreme Court's business. Justice Thomas has recently come under intense scrutiny following several reports about his relationship with GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.

The Controversial Connections of Clarence Thomas.

Conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo arranged for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, to be paid tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work by a nonprofit group he advises, specifying that her name be left off billing paperwork. Leo, a key figure in a network of nonprofits that has worked to support the nominations of conservative judges, told GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway to bill the Judicial Education Project and use that money to pay Ginni Thomas. The arrangement reveals that Leo has functioned not only as an ideological ally of Clarence Thomas's but also has worked to provide financial remuneration to his family.
