NO ABORTION IN CASES OF RAPE OR INCEST.
SALUTE TO MANDATORY ULTRASOUNDS.
NO LEGAL RECOGNITION OF SAME-SEX COUPLES.
And everything went exactly as expected. Not that this crap isn't still horrible, but with all of the anti-woman and anti-LGBT crap they've been endlessly spewing, I would have been pretty shocked if this
wasn't prominently featured in the platform.
“State efforts to reduce illegal immigration must be encouraged, not attacked.”
Efforts to reduce illegal immigration through ethical, rational means should be encouraged, but any government worth its salt will oppose methods that are outright bigoted and/or dehumanize illegal immigrants. Plus, the border fence is a colossal waste of time and money -- a fact that I suspect many Republicans know, yet continue to yap on about because it snares them the xenophobic and reactionary vote.
NO WOMEN IN COMBAT. The platform condemns “social experimentation” in the military, which covers everything from the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” to allowing officers to wear their uniforms in gay pride events to letting women serve on the front lines.
It's not "social experimentation" if it's already been successfully implemented in other nations.
NO NEW TAXES, EXCEPT FOR WAR.
Not a shocking stance for the Republicans, but still a horrifying insight into their antisocial priorities.
