Meanwhile, the Republican Party’s platform may include the full text of the Hyde Amendment, a rule that is used to prevent federal funds from being used for abortions. If the current draft passes, it could further restrict access to abortions across the U.S. The party will ratify the platform at their convention in Cleveland next week. Proposals for the platform also include support for Trump’s plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and a rejection of same-sex marriage, which was legalized by the Supreme Court last year.
