But then:
Here’s more:
The platform states "We proudly stand for families and life. We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied life or liberty without due process, and that the states are, therefore, free to pass laws protecting those rights."
It does not include a national abortion ban or give a specific week at which an abortion would be illegal.
The 2016 Republican platform mentioned abortion 35 times. The 2024 platform mentions it only once in opposing late-term abortions.
It also says the Republican Party will support mothers and policies that advance prenatal care, access to birth control and IVF fertility treatments.
At a news conference in Columbus Wednesday morning Moreno supported the platform.
"It's predominantly a state issue, and we're going to work on ways to make certain that moms have better access to health care, that women have better access to contraception,” Moreno said.
“There's not a Republican senator I know that's against any forms of the contraception that's reported in the media. And we're going to make certain that adoption services are more readily available."
Moreno said he still supports a ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy with common sense restrictions after that time period.

The big picture: Brown's second-quarter haul builds on his campaign's hefty fundraising totals earlier this year.
- His campaign raised $12.1 million in the first three months of this year, outpacing his Republican challenger, Bernie Moreno, by nearly six times.
- Brown's campaign has $10.7 million on hand, it told Axios.
