When Marjorie Dannenfelser first came to Capitol Hill, before she became the most politically relevant voice of the anti-abortion lobby, before she extracted from the host of The Apprentice a promise to appoint anti-abortion judges, and before those judges tilted the Court decisively against a constitutionally protected right to an abortion, she was a young assistant to West Virginia Democrat Alan Mollohan.

In 1989, he was head of the pro-life caucus in the House. “He was good to me,” Dannenfelser told me, “like a…

However, there’s a totally valid reason for her absence. As Hello! magazine points out, the 61-year-old royal was carrying out a super-special role: grandma.
