CNN —Anti-abortion leaders are warning Republicans not to remove a federal abortion ban from the party’s platform at next month’s GOP convention even as their presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, backs away from it.
“Our expectation is that the GOP platform will continue to unequivocally call for national protections for unborn children, rooted in the 14th Amendment,” Dannenfelser told CNN in a statement.
CNN has asked Trump’s campaign for comment.
Trump would not be the first Republican presidential nominee to appear at odds with the party platform on abortion.
He insisted, though, there’s not much daylight between the party’s platform and Trump’s latest stance.
