Am I understanding this right? The Republican Party platform wants a federal ban on all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest?

The platform calls for an anti-abortion constitutional amendment; Paul Ryan opposes any exceptions to a ban on all abortions; and Mitt Romney has not only expressed support for a "Personhood" measure, but has also said he'd be "delighted" [

] to sign a bill that would no longer allow abortions "at all, period."
