Dole faces risk over GOP abortion plank rewrite
Washington reports that the Republican platform's antiabortion line may be altered with caution. Dole advisers seek input from religious conservatives while fearing a party rift. Some leaders want changes to address court rulings and Clinton policies, others warn a rewrite could trigger a damaging convention clash. Major figures such as Reed Schlafly Hyde weigh in, but Dobson resists, keeping the current pro life stance and unity as priorities.
