In 1992, then-candidate for president, Bill Clinton, expressed his wish that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” The phrase came to typify the Democratic position on the issue until the party took a radically pro-abortion turn in the 2010s.
Today, “safe, legal, and rare” describes the Republican Party’s stance on abortion. In the aftermath of the GOP shifting its platform on abortion and major contenders for the vice-presidential nomination echoing the new party line, Jonathan Van Maren observed in First Things that “the decision facing voters (in this election) may be between a pro-abortion party and a pro-choice one.”
It’s true. The platform of the historically pro-life party has been overhauled. Until a few days ago, the Republican Party recognized that unborn children have a “fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed.” With language dating back to the Reagan era, it called for a human life amendment to the U.S. Constitution and legislation clarifying that the Fourteenth Amendment protects children before birth.
The new platform was approved and pushed by former president Donald Trump, reportedly without allowing for debate. Princeton’s Robert George described it as “incoherent.” The new platform invokes the Fourteenth Amendment’s “due process” clause to suggest that, now that Roe has been overturned, states are “free to pass laws protecting” unborn rights. No longer is there mention in the platform of a “fundamental right to life” or a federal human life amendment. Also, the new language promises that Republicans “oppose late term abortion,” but support “access to birth control and IVF.”
The new language directly aligns with Trump’s views on abortion. Last year, he criticized a bill in Florida that banned abortion beyond six weeks, calling it a “terrible thing and a terrible mistake.” Recently, he promised to keep the abortion drug mifepristone legal, and his vice-presidential pick, Senator J.D. Vance, has also come out in support of abortion pills—which account for over 60% of abortions. […]
