Thomas. |

| | The Republican Party favors a continuance of the public dialogue on abortion and supports the efforts of those who seek enactment of a constitutional amendment to restore protection of the right to life for unborn children. | | | The Republican Party reaffirms its support for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. | | | The Platform stated then, and repeats now, that the Republican Party "fully endorses the principle of equal rights, equal opportunities and equal responsibilities for women." The Equal Rights Amendment is the embodiment of this principle and therefore we support its swift ratification. |

| | A second argument often heard against the equal rights amendment is that is would eliminate legislation that many States and the Federal Government have enacted giving special protection to women and that it would throw the marriage and divorce laws into chaos. | | | As in the field of equal rights for blacks, Spanish-Americans, the Indians, and other groups, laws will not change such deep-seated problems overnight But they can be used to provide protection for those who are most abused, and to begin the process of evolutionary change by compelling the insensitive majority to reexamine it's unconscious attitudes. | | | Existing laws are not adequate to secure equal rights for women. |

| | Where equal protection claims in a land use context have failed, such claims can nonetheless possibly be successful if certain criteria are met. If similarly situated parties receiving selective treatment can be identified, and improper considerations have motivated the selective treatment, a landowner might succeed by relying on equal protection. | | | Even in cases where equal protection claims have failed in the land use context, the courts have acknowledged that equal protection claims can succeed if certain criteria are met. | | | Other federal courts have lately agreed that an equal protection claim may be established based on selective enforcement, or a singling out, where the disparate treatment is alleged to be motivated by an arbitrary or malicious or bad faith intent to injure the property owner. |
