00:00Hi, I'm Oriana with Notice.
00:05So yesterday Republicans approved the RNC platform that took out federal bans and most anti-abortion rhetoric from the text.
00:12And I wanted to get your thoughts on what do you think it says that the GOP national agenda seems less restrictive on abortion.
00:20It seems that they are continuing to lie. I just answered the question about them lying on workers' rights.
00:26Now they're trying to lie about women's rights. I don't care about what text they put on paper. I care about the actions of the people.
00:31Donald Trump has said numerous times there needs to be punishment for women.
00:34He's talked about monitoring pregnancies, criminalizing women, criminalizing doctors.
00:39That is what the Republican platform is, what is coming out of their candidate's mouth and their nominee's mouth.
00:44And I think we've seen time and again where Donald Trump stands, not just on reproductive rights, but on IVF and family planning.
00:49He's continuing to double down on that.
00:51And so there is no amount of text on paper or websites that they can approve or plan out
00:56that is going to detract from the fact that Donald Trump and his opponent, J.D. Vance,
01:00you just heard Ben Whittler or his nominee for VP, J.D. Vance,
01:03I just heard Chair Whittler talk about the fact that J.D. Vance said two wrongs don't make a right
01:08when he's asked about cases of rape and incest and women getting abortion from that.
01:12That is the Republican party platform when it comes to reproductive freedom and abortion rights in this country.
