Republicans push hard against abortion at convention

While Democrats at their convention last week shied away from rhetoric focusing on abortion rights, Republicans this week have moved the issue front and center.

Anti-abortion activist Abby Johnson on Tuesday delivered a prime-time address in which she detailed her journey from Planned Parenthood clinic director to avid abortion opponent. Johnson, who has consistently praised President Trump’s positions on the issue, said that Planned Parenthood was a racist organization, whose founder Margaret Sanger used “to eradicate minorities.”
