It’s an 80 page document which may still be changed during this week’s Democratic National Convention.

LBGTQ+ and “Reproductive Rights” (Abortion) is written in the platform.
The churches stance on both are very clear God created you male or female. Marriage is between one man and one woman. Abortion is always intrinsically evil.

There are other items included which are align with church teachings (immigration, living wage, basic needs (food and shelter), climate change, against systematic racism.

This is where forming and voting your conscience is important. Neither of the major us parties are 100% aligned with church teachings.
 
climate change
Catholic teaching does not mandate belief in manmade climate change or banning fracking because of it or require discontinuation of the use of coal, or trying to heat your home with solar radiation.

Neither party is 100% aligned with the Church, but the Repub party is not contrary to the teachings of the Church or anti-Catholic, both of which the Dem party is.

Page 38 is very telling.
Like the majority of Americans, Democrats believe every woman should be able to access high
18 quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion. We oppose and will
19 fight to overturn federal and state laws that create barriers to women’s reproductive health and
20 rights, including by repealing the Hyde Amendment and protecting and codifying Roe v. Wade.

The platform contains almost every bad idea Democrats have had in the last 20 years, including:

Taxpayer payment for gender “reasignment” surgery and hormone therapy.

repealing the Hyde Amendment and protecting and codifying Roe v. Wade.

We will pass legislation requiring that guns be safely stored in homes. And Democrats believe that gun companies should be held responsible for their products, In other words, lock them up so you can’t get them and drive gun manufacturers offshore

We will reject the Trump Administration’s use of broad religious exemptions to allow businesses, medical providers, social service agencies, and others to discriminate In other words, Catholic schools will have to have transgender teachers. Catholic hospitals will have to do abortions and transgender surgery. Catholic religious groups will have to provide abortion coverage for their workers. The priesthood will have to accept women and homosexuals.

We will rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement And give away billions of taxpayer dollars while China does nothing

We will protect children’s health by replacing lead service lines and remediating lead paint in homes and schools; That would be replacing the paint in all buildings built before 1978. That’s a lot of buildings.

Elimination of forcibly separating families and putting children in cages; An Obama program mandated by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The only way the Dems can do that is by simply releasing all illegals into this country.

We will immediately terminate the Trump Administration’s discriminatory travel and immigration bans that disproportionately impact Muslim and African people, and invite those whose visas have been denied under these xenophobic and un-American policies to re-apply to come to the United States. So, immigrants from terrorist-ridden regions who cannot be vetted must be admitted.

Democrats believe it is long past time to provide a roadmap to citizenship for the millions of
undocumented workers, caregivers, students, and children who are an essential part of our
economy and of the fabric of our nation Combined with open borders, a total remake of the population.

We will rejoin and reform the WHO, the United Nations Human Rights Council, and the United Nations Population Fund In other words, fund abortion abroad and subsidize China’s lap dog.

We will support the repeal of the Mexico City Policy and measures like the Helms Amendment, which limit safe access to abortion. We will also restore and expand American contributions to the United Nations Population Fund Abortion again, in case you missed it.

We believe the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) remains the best means to
verifiably cut off all of Iran’s pathways to a nuclear bomb. Pay Iran more baksheesh to make its nukes in secret

Couldn’t be worse, I don’t think.
