By Joshua Mercer, LifeNews - CatholicVote President Brian Burch is weighing in on the GOP Convention 2024 platform document draft, which some conservatives have criticized for its language on in-vitro fertilization and birth control... According to sources close to the process who spoke with CatholicVote, an excerpt from the RNC’s current draft of the platform reads: We proudly stand for families and Life. We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied Life or Liberty without Due Process, and that the States are, therefore, free to pass Laws protecting those Rights.
