Claim: CHARLOTTE, N.C. — On the second night of their convention, Democrats misled viewers with claims about Republican economic and social policies. Among the convention canards: Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy said the Republican platform would "take away a woman's right to choose even if she is a rape victim." The GOP platform strongly opposes abortion, but is silent on exceptions — leaving that up to the states. The president of Planned Parenthood said Romney and Ryan "are committed to ending insurance coverage for birth control." That's not true.
