GOP Platform Endorses Abortion Ban and Conservative Values
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram notes the Republican platform, largely shaped by religious conservatives, favors a constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion with no exceptions. It advocates tax cuts, border fortifications, school prayer, and parental rights while opposing same sex marriage and adoption. Abortion opponents cheer, while some Republicans urge changes. The platform praises Bush foreign policy and Barbara Bush, attacks Clinton and Hillary, and backs Bush economic incentives and a line item veto.

Bush vows Truman like victory at convention
President Bush declared I am a fighter and vowed to beat Bill Clinton this fall in a Truman era style comeback. He spoke to cheering delegates in Houston and planned a drug talk at a local middle school while keeping a low profile at the convention.
