Examples of allowing in a Sentence

1. Melissa Murray:

   You don't have an opportunity to object to the passage of those restrictive laws in your home state if there are suppressive voter laws -- and of course there are suppressive voter laws, in part because The US Supreme Court has dismantled the Voting Rights Act preclearance regime, the US Supreme Court has absented The US Supreme Court from the question of partisan gerrymandering, so there's no federal court solution. The US Supreme Court's really left to the states to deal with those issues. And The US Supreme Court's a bit like allowing a burglar to correct whatever he's stolen when he's burgled your home.

2. Jason Alexander:

   They told me if I would sign the contracts — the annulment — they would let me and Britney continue our relationship, and if we felt the same way in six months they would give us a proper marriage, so I had no reason to believe otherwise. I thought that’s what the truth was. They were allowing Britney and I to still have phone communication.

3. Julian Bailes:

   There really is no concussion pill, there's no specific medication we have to treat these, it's recognition, it's taking that individual out of harm's way for future impacts or blast injury, and it's allowing the brain to heal.

4. Maitland Ward:

   This has always been a dream of mine. I just absolutely do my best under pressure and doing like all of the things that I love. I never want to focus on one thing, i love to do so many different things at once, like writing and cosplay and mainstream acting and porn, and it's always been my intention to go back and forth between worlds, so it's just amazing that the world is allowing me to do that because, in the beginning, people would say, ‘You can't do that. Nobody's going to allow you to do that. Nobody's going to take you seriously in the mainstream if you do porn, nobody's going to want to hear your story.’ And I just kept going.

5. Frederick Kagan:

   It is allowing itself to be manipulated as cover for atrocities and war crimes.
