It's a fairly short read with lots of helpful CAPS and Capped Nouns.

OP here with some context. There are two significant departures from standard Republican positions on abortion and same-sex marriage, in response to Trump's requests that the language be softened to attract more voters.

"The Republican Party’s current policy platform, unchanged since 2016 after the party skipped the platform process during the pandemic in 2020, says the GOP supports a “human life amendment” to the U.S. Constitution. The proposed changes this year say that the 14th Amendment inherently offers protections for life at conception and that “states are, therefore, free to pass Laws protecting those Rights.” It represents a significant switch for the Republican Party, which has been grappling with how to handle its stance on [b]abortion[/b] since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, pitting social conservatives against figures more worried about the political implications of the party’s position.

On [b]same-sex marriage[/b], the Trump-aligned platform committee also approved changes opposed by social conservative in the party. The new proposed platform removes language that says marriage is 'between one man and one woman, and is the foundation for a free society'. It was replaced by language that says the party instead promotes a “culture that values the Sanctity of Marriage, the blessing of childhood, the foundational role of family, and supports working parents.” The new proposed platform does not include mention of 'one man and one woman'."

I can get behind this. [/quote]

Sure thats great for you. But why do you feel the need to make these national-level policies? This is the problem with Christian Nationalism. Its not about you or your beliefs, its about dominance and power and making others adhere to your beliefs which is hypocrisy at its finest because most Christians dont even follow their own rules.
