#RepublicanParty #platform ahead of natl convention does not call for federal ban on abortion, but supports states establishing #fetalpersonhood through #Constitution’s #14thAmendment which grants equal protection under the law to all American citizens.

Its impact could become national if courts affirm state-level laws that extend application of #14thAmendment #fetuses.
