The platform\u200c includes\u200b plans for securing the U.S. border, restoring energy dominance, \u2062reforming\u200d taxes, and strengthening the military.\u2063 However, some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/4-lies-the-media-is-telling-about-abortion-and-pro-life-americans\/\" title=\"4\u00a0Lies The Media Is Telling About Abortion (And Pro-Life Americans)\">pro-life supporters<\/a> are concerned about the platform&#8217;s \u2062watered-down commitment to\u2064 protecting the \u2063lives \u200dof the unborn. Unlike the 2016 platform, this year&#8217;s \u200cplatform does not include support for a 20-week ban on abortion. Trump has taken the position that abortion regulation should be\u200b left\u2063 to the \u200dstates since the Supreme \u2062Court&#8217;s 2022 Dobbs decision. The platform reaffirms the party&#8217;s commitment to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/diabolical-that-supreme-court-didnt-protect-abortion-like-religious-liberty-msnbc-legal-analyst\/\" title=\"\u2018Diabolical\u2019 That Supreme Court Didn\u2019t Protect Abortion Like Religious Liberty: MSNBC Legal Analyst\">protecting unborn life<\/a> through the 14th \u2064Amendment. Social conservatives are pleased that the platform takes a firm stance on gender policy, including keeping men out of\u200b women&#8217;s sports and banning taxpayer\u2064 funding for sex change surgeries. While some are satisfied with the platform, others, \u200blike Tony Perkins, are critical of\u200b the process and believe that the platform should \u200dinclude a \u2062constitutional amendment to protect the lives of the \u2064unborn at the national level.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"> <?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/news\/\">  News <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/randydesoto\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/randydesoto\/%20\"><span>Randy DeSoto<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   July 8, 2024 at 6:02pm <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump celebrated passage of the Republican Party\u2019s 2024 platform on Monday, while some pro-life supporters lamented its watered down commitment to protecting the lives of the unborn.<\/p>\n<p>One week ahead of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the platform committee approved a <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.nucleusfiles.com\/be\/beb1a388-1d88-4389-a67d-c1e2d7f8bedf\/2024-gop-platform-july-7-final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">16-page document<\/a>, containing a 20-point plan, that closely mirrors Trump\u2019s America First agenda regarding securing the U.S. border with Mexico, restoring energy dominance, reforming taxes (including no tax on tips), and strengthening the military.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The entire GOP platform in 20 succinct points.
