Allies of Democratic Attorney General Eric Schneiderman are calling on Republican John Cahill to explain his stance on key social issues, pointing to his role on a drafting committee for the 2012 Republican National Convention platform — part of an apparent effort him to the more conservative wing of the national GOP.

The platform two years ago at the RNC included opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage as well as an affirmation of Second Amendment rights.

In letter signed by Andrea Miller of NARAL Pro-Choice New York, Leah Gunn Barrett of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence and Stonewall Democratic Club President Eunic Ortiz, Cahill is called on to either renounce the GOP’s 2012 platform or explain what steps he took to moderate the language.
