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:

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during Roe, the RNC could say whatever the frick they wanted because they didn't have to follow through, but with Roe repealed, they actually have to match their rhetoric
