People are saying that the GOP has made the abortion plank more strict than in the past. Others say it is unchanged. What's the real story?

I've not heard that it's "more strict." Who is expressing this?

I've heard it follows the 2004 & 2008 planks completely, ignoring the Planned Parenthood abortion lexicon, and focuses on the right to life and dignity therein.

The platform also supports a constitutional amendment granting citizenship protections to the unborn.”

Taken literally this could mean that if any woman anywhere comes to the U.S. and has her child here, the child is a U.S. citizen.

During primary.

“If elected president I will work with you to foster respect for innocent human life with an understanding that a culture that fails to do so ultimately becomes a culture in which respect for fellow human beings is diminished. I’m heartened by the advances made by the pro-life movement over the last several years,” Romney concluded. “The ranks of our pro-life partners are growing every day. hat progress would not be possible without your passion and your dedication. God bless you for it and God bless the United States of America.”

Now

Romney believes abortion should be legal in cases of abortion or incest, or when the mother’s life is in danger.

I guess he thinks babies should be murdered if their dad is a criminal.
