There's a GOP battle brewing over the party's abortion platform
In case you haven’t noticed, Donald Trump has been a wee bit cagey when it comes to abortion lately. In 2016, he rode forced-birth fever to the White House after promising to put anti-abortion justices on the Supreme Court (and ensure scandalous, libertine women are punished for getting abortions). But in the wake of the court’s Dobbs decision, he’s suddenly found anti-religion (or anti-whatever-right-wing-evangelicals-are-babbling-about, anyway).
In the latest sign that abortion, a longtime wedge issue, is now dividing Republicans, Politico is reporting that a fight is brewing over the 2024 GOP platform, and the anti-abortion true believers are increasingly alarmed at what’s happening.
