If you guys keep talking abortion, this thread will end up like the Boink thread.

I admit that I've never actually read any of the Republican party planks ever. This is from the 1976 platform, and it's not too divisive. I need to find later ones to compare. "The question of abortion is one of the most difficult and controversial of our time. It is undoubtedly a moral and personal issue, but it also involves complex questions relating to medical science and criminal justice. There are those in our party who favor complete support for the Supreme Court decision which permits abortion on demand. There are those who share sincere convictions that the Supreme Court's decision must be changed by a constitutional amendment prohibiting all abortions. Other have yet to take a position, or they have assumed a stance somewhere in between polar positions. "We protest the Supreme Court's intrusion into the family structure through its denial of the parents' obligation and right to guide their minor children. The Republican Party favors a continuance of the public dialogue on abortion and supports the efforts of those who seek enactment of a constitutional amendment to restore protection of the right to life for unborn children." cgi.cnn.com
