GOP Platform Bans All Abortion

You have to hand it to the GOP: they sure know how to make their opinions clear. Republican delegates overwhelmingly approved the latest iteration of their party’s platform at the RNC Tuesday, calling for a blanket ban of gay marriage and abortion in all cases. The 2012 party platform also lays out the GOP’s plan to turn Medicare into a voucher system with different age eligibility requirements adjusted for longer life spans. The document’s language warns that the “American Dream is at risk” and calls for an end to “any form of amnesty for undocumented immigrants” as well as any legislation that would “restrict Second Amendment rights.”
