Trump releases new GOP platform

Elderly man, 74, killed in broad-daylight, drug-related shooting in NYC park -- second victim stable: copsThe GOP raised ire among some pro-life advocates, including former Vice President Mike Pence, by removing its longstanding call for a constitutional amendment specifying that life begins at conception and explicitly delegating regulation of abortion to the states.

The new platform declared that the GOP will “protect and defend a vote of the people, from within the states, on the issue of life,” and underscored the party’s opposition to late-term abortion as well as support for advancing access to birth control and in vitro fertilization. For example, one pledge vowed to “PREVENT WORLD WAR THREE” and construct “A GREAT IRON DOME MISSILE DEFENSE SHIELD OVER OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY.”

“People wanted something that was readable, something they could print off and take as they go door to door.”Some issues that are not discussed in the platform include same-sex marriage, a balanced budget, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
