Frist just announced that the full platform committee will start its consideration of the document at 6 pm. It’s taking the controversial sections first. It will start with the Protecting Our Families section of the platform, which includes abortion. It will move to Strengthening Communities, which includes both stem-cell research and the bulk of the platform’s immigration language. It will then take up the summary and call to action at the end of the platform, which is where pro-choice and pro-same-sex marriage Republicans will try to add a line indicating tolerance for themselves. I gather that it will all be shown on C-SPAN 2.
