Some conservative members worry the party will adopt a softened abortion stance.
President Donald Trump pauses while speaking during a rally in Charlotte, N.C., March 2, 2020.The Republican National Committee is drafting a 2024 party platform that may usher in changes to the GOP's positions on key issues like abortion, same-sex marriage and immigration -- reforms that will likely reflect the beliefs of their leader: former President Donald Trump, platform committee members and Trump allies said.
Trump’s position on reproductive rights has worried some anti-abortion activists and RNC members who have expressed concern that the call for a "right to life" amendment would be stripped from the platform this year. "Well, I think our platform has to reflect our nominee, and our nominee's position actually happens to be one grounded in reality," Rubio said. "The reality of it is the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. And what that basically means is that now it's not states; it's voters at individual states who will get to decide how and to what level they want to restrict abortion, if at all. Some states will have restrictions. Some states will not.
For weeks, some more socially conservative RNC members and leading anti-abortion groups have been vocal about any platform deliberations that might water down the party’s stance on abortion. this week, noting that the softer language on reproductive rights might impact the 2024 election because he claimed most of the Republican base was staunchly anti-abortion.
“My belief is the loud voices are few and will not be more than a squeaky wheel in the end. A vast majority,” the source said."President Trump was the first president who supported marriage equality when elected and has repeatedly stated that it's a settled issue. Given polling of that issue of both Americans and Republicans, it is settled.
