Anti-abortion leaders are cautioning Republicans against removing a federal abortion ban from the party's platform at the upcoming GOP convention. The current platform, established during Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and left unchanged during his reelection bid, advocates for Congress to prohibit abortions after 20 weeks and calls for a constitutional amendment granting the unborn the same rights as a person.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, emphasized the importance of retaining the platform's stance on national protections for unborn children rooted in the 14th Amendment. Similarly, Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, urged the Trump campaign to proceed cautiously and maintain a strong defense of the sanctity of life.
