Donald Trump wants the Republicans to alter the party platform on a fundamental issue for many conservative activists — abortion.
The GOP platform, which is formally adopted at the Republican National Convention, has included language every election year since 1984 with support for a human life amendment to the Constitution and a call for “legislation to make it clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.”
The question comes about three weeks after Trump angered abortion-rights opponents and advocates alike by telling MSNBC’s Chris Matthews that a woman seeking an abortion would have to face “some form of punishment” if the procedure were ever made illegal in any state.
Trump quickly backtracked from that statement, issuing multiple clarifications in the aftermath of the interview.
The Republican platform adopted in 2012 states: “We affirm our moral obligation to assist, rather than penalize, women challenged by an unplanned pregnancy.”
