The document was presented Monday to members of the Republican Convention Platform Committee, a group handpicked by leaders of the Trump campaign that includes some members who want stronger language around abortion. The 2016 platform, which Trump used in his 2020 reelection campaign, called for a constitutional amendment to affirm the constitutional due process rights of embryos and fetuses and a national law that would ban abortion, with some exceptions, after about 20 weeks of gestation.
