Human Life Amendment Drafted for Republican Party Platform

AKA: The war on women.
Quote:
The Republican Party plans to reaffirm its stance on abortion by once again including a "human life amendment" to the Constitution in its official platform. The proposed amendment would ban all abortion with no exceptions as well as some forms of contraception. The Republican Party's official platform committee drafted the provision Monday, and still must be approved by delegates at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida next week.
Perhaps one of these days republican women will wake up and realize that the RNC is not their friend.

It's been a platform plank for quite some time.

I know. Can't understand how they keep getting away with it.

It's been a plank since the 70s. Up until recently it's been a hold card they didn't need to play. Now for some reason they've decided that it's a good idea to piss off half the voters in the country. I reckon they have their reasons.

Test it out in the by-round maybe.

For the nigh-on 40 years I've watched politics, party platforms on either side don't amount to jack squat - they're forgotten usually as soon as the convention is over.

They're just for the party faithful and convention delegates to pretend that they actually have a say in the way the party is ran.

Why?

Strikes me as a very plausible reason to deny rape victims access to abortion services, as part of the human life amendment

I suppose the equivalent plank in the Democrat's platform would be unrestricted access to abortions for any woman, regardless of her age or method of termination.

However, the reality is that neither of the presidential candidates endorses the extremes of their respective party's positions.

Oh ok, one offendee I am willing to ignore, but two I won't.

My apologies to both of you, the comment was in poor taste. However, the sentiment remains. If you find that comment offensive, then why not the idea that a rape victim has no right to abort a pregnancy forced upon her? I find the idea that people defend this notion more offensive by far. This is part of this human life amendment initiative.

When the debate of "When life begins and when human rights begin" ends.

There is not a law that exists or can be made that will be fair to all involved. My belief is that there should not be any laws for or against or subsidy provided for abortion. It should be a medical decision based on each individual case. Any other viewpoint almost certainly comes attached to an agenda.

Less government seems to be the best fit in my opinion.



As far as the statement. I accept the apology and will promptly delete my response.

I do not think the limitation of rights can be equated with the expansion of rights. I also am not aware of any proposed legislation that would promote or grant unlimited.abortions regardless of age.

Paul Ryan and Todd Akin co-sponsored the bill that would define life as starting at conception. That would prohibit all abortions except in cases where the mothers life in.endangered. This not just some plank to be forgotten. This is real life for at least some of the people in a position to actually make it happen.

Am I to understand this to mean that ALL rapists are conservatives?

I'll take it WAY past this. I believe that there should be NO government subsidy of ANYTHING! There should be a SMALL government to provide a justice system, a military and maybe a road system. We could have done just fine if the road system would have stayed private.
