The new Trump-controlled RNC rolled out their party platform today for the 2024 elections, and it left many lifelong party activists furious.
Anti-Abortion activists took to social media today to express frustrations. The Trump party platform opposes a federal abortion ban, and simply states that the Republican Party opposes late-term abortions and leaves the rest up to the states.
National pro-life leader Bob Vander Platts was not pleased, also complaining that contenders to be Trump’s running mate who had been staunchly anti-abortion like Marco Rubio and JD Vance were going along with the plan.

The platform committee member in the video below says she and others were basically handed the Trump-written platform and told to shut up. If the printout seen below is correct, Trump’s team indeed whittled the previous platform from 60 pages down to 20 single-line talking points.

Primary to winning any election is DO NOT abandon your base.
The 2024 election is going to be a turn out your base race.

Rubio was the most aggressive pro-life messaging candidate in 2016. He’s now advocating taking life out of the party platform because he thinks he has a real shot to be Trump’s running mate, and this is what Trump wants.https://t.co/vChNJdaURD

The GOP just released its official platform. What’s the most absurd thing in this platform?
I’ll start: #7 “Defend our Constitution.” Your nominee for president is literally a man who tried to overturn the election results and called for the “termination” of the Constitution. pic.twitter.com/CIL6Wm4J1m
