The\u2064 GOP’s 2024 platform \u200chas sparked controversy among delegates, with\u200b 18 members drafting a symbolic “minority report<\/a>” due\u2063 to differences on abortion language. Despite a final vote of 84 to\u2063 18, dissenters were unable to submit a formal report without capturing 25% of the vote. Critics are disappointed that the \u200cplatform does not support a “human life amendment<\/a>” or extend protections to the \u200bunborn. The 2016 platform had detailed protections for healthcare workers and called for a \u2064 20-week abortion ban<\/a>, while the 2024\u2063 platform only opposes\u2062 late-term\u200b abortion and leaves the issue to the states. The platform \u2062asserts the importance of\u2064 family and life, citing the\u200c 14th Amendment’s \u200dprotection of individual rights. <\/p>\n
