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.

Some guy on the r/Catholicism thread helpfully has the 2024 vs 2016 language in a comment so you can see the differences for yourself.

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. :marseyindignant:

Pay no attention to this misdirection. Once Trump desolves democracy and implements project 2025 all nubile females will be rounded up and sent to breeding farms. (Based)
