The Republican National Committee is reworking its platform ahead of the Republican convention, and a few interesting planks are emerging in the draft platform.
So far, noteworthy changes being offered to the GOP platform (according to various news outlets) include:
- Naming Internet pornography a public health crisis.
- Maintaining that marriage ought to be the union of one man and one woman.
- Putting the power to make marriage laws back into the hands of the states.
- Acknowledging that children raised in traditional, two-parent households are “physically and emotionally healthier, less likely to use drugs and alcohol, engage in crime, or become pregnant outside of marriage.”
- Stating that children have a “natural right to be raised in an intact biological family.”
- Affirming that students should be able to study the Bible academically as an elective course in public schools.
- Maintaining a pro-life position on the issue of abortion.
We will continue to monitor the different party platforms as the summer progresses.
