President Trump recently introduced a new raft of proposals to expand access to IVF, fulfilling campaign promises to do so. It revealed how his administration, in its rightful zeal to purge itself of the Republican old guard, has lost the ethical guardrails provided by the pro-life, natural-law-upholding intellectuals who guided prior iterations of the GOP.
The Trump era precipitated an internal housecleaning, ridding the Republican Party of a large number of political operatives and opinion-peddlers who simply could not abide Trump. Though many were sincere, several were either not very conservative or not very honest, and their departure is no great loss. An example of this addition-by-subtraction appeared in The Bulwark, which published a piece by Miles Bruner, a self-described “former Republican political hack.”
