He’s Back-Pedaling As Fast As He Can

MAGA evangelicals want a constitutional amendment banning abortion in the GOP platform. 
"If the Trump campaign decides to remove national protections for the unborn in the GOP platform, it would be a miscalculation that would hurt party unity and destroy pro-life enthusiasm between now and the election,” [Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America] warned. 
“We are now just one business day away from the platform committee meeting and no assurances have been made. Instead, every indication is that the campaign will muscle through changes behind closed doors.” 
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, a platform committee member, went so far as to call restricted access to the platform committee "un-American." 
"I am very concerned about closing down the process,” Perkins reportedly said Thursday. “The Republican Party should not be operating as we point out the left so often does — wanting to silence opposition.”
