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.

Do they think this is going to convince women that they don't want to remove abortion at this point? I never understood last minute political shifts. Literally only people who are already voting for you will notice

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.

No what I'm saying is that it is a minority of women in the U.S. that are pro life.
