Is the Republican Party Becoming Pro-Choice? by Jonathon Van Maren

By Jonathon Van Maren, First Things - The Republican National Committee proposed its 2024 GOP party platform in Milwaukee on July 8, and for the first time in forty years, this platform does not include support for a national abortion ban. Instead, the GOP’s anti-abortion positions are softened and many of the party's previous pro-life commitments have been removed.

The Republican Party Sidelines the Pro-Life Cause, by R. R. Reno

By R. R. Reno, First Things - Pro-life politicians have a duty to pursue realistic objectives, given political circumstances. But all of us—including men and women in the practical work of gaining executive, legislative, and judicial power—must be witnesses to the sanctity of life. The pro-life cause has been sidelined by the Republican Party. This undermines the battle for life... The degree to which the GOP has downgraded the grave evil of abortion is striking.
