On March 16, National Review writer Michael Brendan Dougherty spoke with Alexandra “Xan” DeSanctis on an exclusive, members-only NRPLUS conference call.
Michael and Xan discussed the Biden administration’s policy on abortion, hitting everything from the Hyde Amendment to the effects the Equality Act may have on abortion policy. They analyzed the Becerra nomination and what signal that sent to pro-choice voters. They next discussed the dismantling of the cult that was built around Andrew Cuomo during the pandemic, and pointed out the differences between the handling of the allegations against Cuomo and the those against conservatives like Brett Kavanaugh.
In honor of Women’s History Month, Xan described what it means to be a conservative woman today, and she offered an opinion on whether it is worth it to fight to regain usage of the word “feminist.” Michael and Xan also listed the most influential conservative women in their lives.
Your fellow members submitted questions, too, including: Is there a place for conservatives in the women’s liberation movement? And, What are the best policies and resources to support unplanned pregnancies?
Listen to the discussion in the members-only recording above.
We look forward to seeing you on the next call.
