MILWAUKEE — Conservatives appeared to accept the Republican National Committee‘s new platform change that strips language supporting a federal abortion ban.
The change was quietly approved this week after social conservatives had pleaded with former President Donald Trump‘s campaign to firmly stand behind limiting abortion when the platform was updated on Monday. But the pressure proved unsuccessful, although the platform still includes language tying abortion to the 14th Amendment’s protection for children before birth. Despite the change, conservatives have not expressed strong disdain against the platform.
