We Have a Pro-Life Platform

Congratulations to National Right to Life political director Karen Cross and other NRLC officials who have been involved in shaping the GOP Pro-Life Platform at the Minneapolis convention. And what a pro-life platform it is!
You will remember this platform years from now. Maybe one day in your lifetime, not mine, the Democratic party will come up with a similar one.

NOW HERE IS THE FINAL GOP PRO-LIFE PLATFORM;

Faithful to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, we assert the inherent dignity and sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed.

We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we endorse legislation to make clear that the 14th Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.

We oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values & the sanctity and dignity of innocent human life.

We have made progress. The Supreme Court has upheld prohibitions against the barbaric practice of partial-birth abortion.

States are now permitted to extend health-care coverage to children before birth.

And the Born Alive Infants Protection Act has become law, this law ensures that infants who are born alive during an abortion receive all treatment and care that is provided to all newborn infants and are not neglected and to die.

We must protect girls from exploitation and statutory rape through a parental notification requirement.
We have a moral obligation to assist, not to penalize, women struggling with the challenges of an unplanned pregnancy.
At its core, abortion is a fundamental assault on the sanctity of innocent human life. Women deserve better than abortion.

Every effort should be made to work with women considering abortion to enable and empower them to choose life.
We salute those who provide them alternatives, including pregnancy care centers, and we take pride in the tremendous increase in adoptions that has followed Republican legislative initiatives.

Respect for life requires efforts to include persons with disabilities in education, employment, the justice system, and civic participation. In keeping with that commitment, we oppose the non-consensual withholding of care or treatment from people with disabilities, as well as the elderly and inform, just as we oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide, which endanger especially those on the margins of society.
