RNC poised in draft text to drop national limits on abortion from party platform

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : The platform represents a major change for the GOP -- and one that anti-abortion advocates had spent months rallying against.
49% : But the two entities have effectively functioned as one since Trump pushed out former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel earlier this year, replacing her and other top committee leaders with his own selections, among them his senior campaign adviser and his daughter-in-law.
49% : "Their tactics have backfired," Fredericks told POLITICO, referring to anti-abortion leaders like Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, who have urged activists to contact platform committee members telling them not to water down the party platform on abortion.
29% : "Another anti-abortion leader, granted anonymity to speak candidly about the platform process, said that the "secrecy" has confirmed that "Trump and his campaign officials are willing to sacrifice the pro-life cause for the sake of their political expediency.
16% : Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life, accused Trump of trying to "[single-handedly] change the GOP's entire platform," which she called "completely unnecessary" and "harmful.""This will only cause division within the GOP and take focus of energy off of defeating Biden in November," Hawkins wrote on X Sunday night.
