MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The fact that someone with such traditional Republican principles was elected to the top post in House leadership shows that those priorities are important to the party, even if some fear the electoral consequences.
Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, a super PAC that’s funded state-level anti-abortion and anti-transgender campaigns, agreed: “For the longest time social conservatives didn’t have a seat at the table.
But he’s earned an “A+” rating from the powerful anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony (SBA) Pro-Life America and has co-sponsored and advocated for legislation that would put federal limits on abortion.
A key part of the Speaker’s job is to protect and grow the number of seats held by the majority, so forcing Biden-district Republicans to vote on anti-abortion measures may be problematic.
For example, a bill to permanently codify and expand the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits certain federal funds from being used on abortion procedures, was included in a list of 12 pieces of legislation House Republicans planned to pass in the first weeks of their new majority.
Severino, who ran the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights during the Trump administration, said that bill is “low hanging fruit” for Johnson to support.
