Roe v. Wade is gone.

Prominent anti-abortion, evangelical and social conservative groups are pressuring the Republican National Committee not to moderate its stance on abortion, ahead of a meeting to draft a new GOP platform next week.

New efforts from groups including Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, Students for Life, and a coalition led by the Family Research Council are aimed at ensuring Republicans don’t make former President Trump’s leave-abortion-to-the states approach the official position of the party.

Anti-abortion leaders have been expressing concern at Trump’s approach throughout the campaign, as he has tried to avoid taking a firm stance and wading into the political minefield of abortion.

Yet as the RNC closes ranks around Trump ahead of the convention in Milwaukee, those groups are growing increasingly worried.

They argue weakening the platform would be abandoning all the progress the movement has made at limiting access to the procedure and would risk a divide among the party when they should be united.

The campaign and the RNC have seemingly rebuffed those entreaties.

I don't see the party splitting over this as they all know half a loaf is better than none. But, wouldn't it be deliciously ironic if the right fractured over the wedge issue of abortion?

The party is already split. It's just a matter of where those divisions will show, and how deeply they go.

Anything that cuts their turnout is good by me.

America seems to be slipping backwards on a daily basis

Isn't that old news?
