The Republican National Committee softened its stance on abortion in a draft measure adopted by a committee Monday, agreeing to a platform that no longer calls for federal limits on abortion.
The move — a dramatic shift for the party, made two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — comes a week before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where former President Donald Trump is expected to accept GOP’s presidential nomination.
Trump, who received high praise for his policy actions related to abortion during his presidency, has been more evasive this cycle regarding topics like national limits and exceptions to state bans. He also distanced himself from Project 2025, a conservative-led transition project which calls for a number of new abortion restrictions.
