The Republican platform since the 1980s has articulated support for a constitutional amendment that would assert the sanctity and protection of human life, extending to unborn children. This is the first time in 40 years that the RNC has not explicitly endorsed a national ban on abortion in the platform.

Democrats love when Republicans fight over federal “pro life” bills because it helps the Democrats every time

The results: Roe v Wade remained the law of the land eventhough the Repukes have had both houses of congress and the Presidency many times since 1980. The country as a whole is much more supportive of abortion. Late term abortions have gained much more support, it seems especially by the wonen of the nation. Promiscuity has sky rocketed and well as the number of abortions. In short, the policy has been an abject failure. When people say all talk, no action this is a great example. It’s much like Jerusalem being the Capitol of Israel has also been in the platform and absolutely nothing was done about it. All of this makes it clear that the platform is just red meat to run on to the GOP and not really goals to be achieved. The reality is that abortions have become much more acceptable (for none health related reasons) in a normally bankrupted nation. Trying to solve that in a 4 month election is ridiculous. If you run on a national abortion ban you will lose the election but more notably even if you win there is a 0% chance that it will become law and, additionally, will not save one child.
