...the 2,200-plus convention delegates approved a conservative platform that called for less government, opposed same-sex marriage and endorsed a "human life amendment" to ban abortion with no specific exceptions for cases of rape, incest or when the mother's life is threatened.

Hey, the democrats think that's a winner for them and all they have to do is step up the propaganda on The Republican War on Women©.

To the true conservatives on this web site; how about fighting the democrats and media on this for, say, about the next 3 (not even) months? After all, isn't this plank one of the very things you wanted but were sure you weren't going to get?

The 2004 republican platform had a firm “SECURE THE BORDERS” plank. How did that work out?
