Good morning from the Hive newsroom! After years of losing American voters on reproductive rights, the GOP might finally be nearing an official abortion platform, [reports]( Abigail Tracy. From Donald Trump to Tim Scott to Glenn Youngkin, more and more top Republicans are landing on a 15-to-16-week federal ban, which abortion providers and advocates have strongly rebuked as both a medical and moral nightmare. Whether it’s a “15-week ban, a six-week ban,” as one ob-gyn tells her, “none of this legislation can take all of those individual situations into account, and they just cause harm and prevent people from getting the care that they need.” Speaking of abortion, Bess Levin [tears into]( Nikki Haley for siding with the Alabama high court’s ruling that frozen embryos can legally be considered children. Plus, Eric Lutz [observes]( that the ex-president’s immigration platform, though light on details, is only getting increasingly extreme. Thanks for reading.
