THE GOP PLATFORM ON ABORTION

These selections come from the 2008 party platform and someone should ask McCain and Palin about each one.


- Because the UN has no mandate to promote radical social engineering, any effort to address global social problems must respect the fundamental institutions of marriage and family. We assert the rights of families in all international programs and will not fund organizations involved in abortion. We strongly support the long-held policy of the Republican Party known as the “Mexico City policy,”which prohibits federal monies from being given to non-governmental organizations that provide abortions or actively promote abortion as a method offamily planning in other countries. We reject any
treaty or agreement that would violate those values. PAGES 7-8

- We oppose school-based clinics that provide referrals, counseling, and related services for abortion and contraception. PAGE 45

- We oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. PAGE 52

- At its core, abortion is a fundamental assault on the sanctity of innocent human life. PAGE 52
