While previous versions of the document said that unborn children have a "fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed" and called for a constitutional amendment to guarantee that right, this year's platform uses much more moderate language and emphasizes the role of states in protecting life.
It reads: "We proudly stand for families and life. 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."
The platform goes on to laud the overturn of Roe v. Wade and then express support for prenatal care, birth control, and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
"After 51 years, because of us, that power has been given to the states and to a vote of the people. We will oppose late-term abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance prenatal care, access to birth control, and IVF," the new document reads.
I'm officially not voting in the federal election this year, I will for my state stuff still.
!chuds the Republicans suck so much it's unreal. Consider this my application to grillers/nonchuds. IDGAF about your realpolitik bullshit, either.

This seems like a dumb own goal in a situation where your opponent is constantly fricking up. Pro-lifers are almost all one issue voters and view any abortion timeline equal to murder... and I can't see this really turn anyone to them this close to the election.

I dunno how much that is true. Christians turned pretty in recent years, and in local elections there's no alternative for the pro-life vote.
But I want it to be true.

What percent of people believe that there should be no abortions no matter what?
Then what percent would allow abortions but only for , incest, and so on?
Theeen, what percent would allow those exception while also allowing abortions up to 12 months?
I'm thinking the voter base is predominantly the third group, which is why the GOP is adjusting more toward their median voter.

The Biden years have demonstrated that the president is at this point largely just a figurehead with the bureaucratic party structure functioning as normal without/despite them (arguably, better). Only our dumbest chuds thought Trump was actually at the helm of most policy decisions.
I agree he never cared; however, many Republican party members and lobbying groups do or at least did.

Trump did basically nothing apart from shitpost morning, noon and night. In a second term he won't need to face the electorate again so he probably won't even bother to do that unless he's bored.

Sure. The actual reason is that during Roe, the RNC could say whatever the frick they wanted because they didn't have to follow through, but with Roe repealed, they actually have to match their rhetoric

I think it was inevitable Republicans would switch to the Kang & Kodos platform because there's still a large amount of support for abortion. There's no alternative to actually changing people's minds; it can't just be illegal but it must be unthinkable.

Any hard ideological question like that is far more wish washy when it comes to voting in private than what people say IRL. Just like immigration and economics

I think that's more prevalent amongst nominal Christians than with ones who actually attend/are part of the community, and at least with Catholics there really aren't great sources of statistics to begin with. I know this because it is a frequent source of frustration talking about politicized Church topics that the stats almost always include people who are baptized but haven't attended in years/only on Christmas and Easter.

There are lots of pro-life women. They're normally ugly hags whose baby daddy left them carrying the can and they don't want young bitches getting the option to skip the bullshit they had to wade through. Bitterness is a powerful political motivator.

This is such an r-slured line of argumentation. The reason abortion is different is that we are killing babies. Murder is already illegal, abortion kills a human baby, ergo abortion is murder and should be illegal.
