Don't Be Fooled -- the GOP's New Abortion Platform Is Not "Softened" or "Scaled Back"

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : This time around, anti-abortion activists wanted to call for a nationwide ban at 15 weeks of pregnancy or earlier.
44% : Vought was a senior official in the Trump administration credited with blocking federal funds from going to Planned Parenthood.
40% : This kind of press coverage will help Trump spread the lie that he opposes federal restrictions.
35% : That's because anti-abortion hounds are plenty happy about it.
35% : So while it's true that the GOP abortion platform doesn't explicitly call for a national ban, people need to realize that it could be used to achieve that horrifying end, if you read between the lines -- and it's simply part of a long con to get Trump elected again.
30% : He claims that he instead wants abortion to remain a state issue, and his team thinks that it can spin this as Trump's being some kind of moderate, despite his being responsible for the end of Roe.
29% : As president, Trump could move to ban all or most abortions by enforcing the 19-century Comstock Act or by directing the Food and Drug Administration to revoke approval of the abortion drug mifepristone.
20% : Russell Vought is the RNC's platform policy director and also one of the authors of Project 2025, the conservative agenda written for Trump that calls on him to ban abortion by enforcing the Comstock Act.
