Republicans Approve New Platform Endorsing a Constitutional Amendment Supporting Life

This rocks....

The Republican Party on Monday approved a new platform that contains the same Human Life Amendment the GOP has advocated for years enshrining legal protection for unborn children in the nation’s Constitution.
