Tempers Flare as Trump Revises Abortion Plank

“Top advisers to Donald Trump have begun to discuss draft language for the 2024 Republican platform that antiabortion leaders expect will abandon the party’s decades-long call to amend the U.S. Constitution to extend personhood protections to the unborn,“ the Washington Post reports.

“The escalating behind-the-scenes disagreement over the abortion language has become so tense and acrimonious in recent weeks that some social conservative leaders have issued public warnings of a coming split within Trump’s coalition. Others have started to discuss an effort to issue a ‘minority report’ to the platform at the convention, according to the people involved, who like others for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.”
