Prominent Pro-Life Groups Support RNC’s Pro-Abortion Platform
Republicans just dropped their party platform, and for the first time in 40 years, it does not endorse a national abortion ban. Instead, it parrots Donald Trump’s desire to let the states regulate abortion while at the same time supporting abortions via abortifacient and birth control like Plan B and IVF.
It’s a pro-death trainwreck that has left anti-abortion advocates reeling with betrayal and a stark realization that something fundamentally evil has overtaken the Republican party.
Boyce College Professor Denny Burk raged on X that “The Trump campaign has eviscerated the pro-life plank of the GOP platform. – This isn’t conservative. It isn’t pro-life. It isn’t principled. It’s rank capitulation and moving the GOP to the left.” He also wrote in World mag:
“The new platform de-commits from any measure to protect the unborn at the federal level. Functionally, the new draft of the Republican platform is pro-abortion at the federal level”
This sentiment is echoed throughout our feed.
While abortion abolitionists are thoroughly unsurprised by this course of action (even if it is upsetting and vexing, and even if we’ve long ago pledged never to vote for a candidate who supports abortion), they long understood that the GOP has always been weak on abortion and that the biggest barrier to abortion being abolished has been pro-life politicians.
Hence, what is also not surprising is how quickly pro-life groups have capitulated to Trump’s deranged and damaging desires, including Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America and John Mize, CEO of Americans United for Life, both whom signed a letter in support of the party’s new platform.
These are groups that have consistently opposed abolitionist legislation, and now they’ve gone further.
The Republican party has betrayed the country and pro-life leaders are going along to get along. Reject the pro-life movement. Become an abolitionist.
