Republican National Committee’s (RNC) 2024 mirrors Donald Trump’s platform.

The previous platform said “the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed.”
Now it says: “We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied life or liberty without due process and that the states are, therefore, free to pass laws protecting those rights.”
“This process is not how the rules of the Republican Party claim the process is supposed to work,” said Kristen Ullman, president of Eagle Forum. “The rules say that we are an open and transparent party and that the delegates have historically had the opportunity to read, digest, and amend the platform, and they were not given this opportunity. And it is very disappointing.”
Exactly. The platform only mentions the process.
Even if the party wants to keep it at the state level the platform can still say that the party supports protecting unborn human beings.
It’s not hard.
The absence betrays the defenseless babies.
It’s also a slap in the face to those who fought and still fight to end abortion.
RedState’s Jennifer Van Laar made an excellent point:
The absence or inclusion of language about abortion (or any other issue, for that matter) doesn’t restrict individual candidates or elected officials’ position or actions on the issue, but the absence of the ban language takes away one issue Democrats can use to scare swing voters – and there’s some polling to suggest that Dem scaremongering in 2022 was a big factor in the predicted “red wave” not materializing.
But it also means compromising principles to own the libs.
LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Then again, until the government accepts the science that life begins at conception, nothing can happen. Therefore, life doesn’t apply to unborn human beings.
If you bring up Dobbs, remember that SCOTUS ruled abortion is not in the Constitution. They left it to the people and their elected officials.
In other words, PUT IT THROUGH CONGRESS. I don’t think SCOTUS mentioned only at the state level so elected officials could mean Congress.
I see people on social media okay with compromising their principles. They forget that our other natural rights do not matter if we don’t have LIFE.
As I told Stevie…gotta own the libs!
