I guess Trump missed the memo.
Not for long.
Cruz has always supported “life of the mother” as an exception. But IIRC, the interpretation is verrrrrry broad.
A new, individual life begins at conception, and it is human.
Yawn. He’s just saying this as RINOs always do during the election cycle. Afterwards it’s back to baby slaughter and the Cheap Labor Express business as usual. Far fewer conservatives are falling for this treacherous crap any longer.
Good for Reince. The platform needs to stay the way it is. I disagree with Trump in this case.
That’s the party platform. But how many Republicans have tried to overturn Roe/Wade.
Another GOP attempt to derail Trump with an issue that isn’t even an issue for a president. The issue should be the issue of religious freedom and whether or not to force people to pay for other people’s abortions.
THE SANCTITY AND DIGNITY OF HUMAN LIFE
Faithful to the “self-evident” truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. We oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion or fund organizations which perform or advocate it and will not fund or subsidize health care which includes abortion coverage. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity of innocent human life. We oppose the non-consensual withholding or withdrawal of care or treatment, including food and water, from people with disabilities, including newborns, as well as the elderly and infirm, just as we oppose active and passive euthanasia and assisted suicide.
Republican leadership has led the effort to prohibit the barbaric practice of partial birth abortion, permitted States to extend health care coverage to children before birth. We urge Congress to strengthen the Born Alive Infant Protection Act by exacting appropriate civil and criminal penalties to health care providers who fail to provide treatment and care to an infant who survives and abortion, including early induction delivery where the death of the infant is intended. We call for legislation to ban sex-selective abortions – gender discrimination in its most lethal form – and to protect from abortion unborn children who are capable of feeling pain; and we applaud U.S. House Republicans for leading the effort to protect the lives of pain-capable unborn children in the District of Columbia. We call for a revision of federal law 42 U.S.C. 289.92 to bar the use of body parts from aborted fetuses for research. We support and applaud adult stem cell research to develop lifesaving therapies, and we oppose the killing of embryos for their stem cells. We oppose federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
We also salute the many states that have passed laws for informed consent, mandatory waiting periods prior to an abortion, and health protective clinic regulation. We seek to protect young girls from exploitation through a parental consent requirement; and we affirm our moral obligation to assist, rather than penalize, women challenged by an unplanned pregnancy. We salute those who provide them with counseling and adoption alternatives and empower them to choose live, and we take comfort in the tremendous increase in adoptions that has followed Republican legislative initiatives.
Pretty slick move, I’d say.
A lot of the go-along-to-get-along RINOs have been hedging on this, now the RNC corralled them.
Perhaps then Romney’s ‘prince’ can tell that idiot lying Ryan to end funding of planned parenthood.... I am done with the double speak.
