Republican White House hopefuls are courting influential religious conservatives at an event later Saturday in Iowa that marks the unofficial start of the state’s 2024 caucus campaign.
The event hosted by a Christian group gives the presidential prospects the chance to make their pitch to evangelicals in a state where Republicans will kick off the nominating process next year. It's also a shot at making an impression on activists who may be open to an alternative to Trump at a time when he is mired in legal problems and was recently charged in New York in a hush money scheme involving a porn actor.Sign up for NECN newsletters.
On Thursday, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, the nation's leading anti-abortion group, condemned Trump's position that abortion restrictions should be left up to states, not the federal government. The group called it a “morally indefensible position for a self-proclaimed pro-life presidential candidate," a strong rebuke of a former president whose nominations to the Supreme Court led to Roe's overturning.
All the Republicans in the race or moving toward running have supported state bans on abortion. Most have been much more cautious about staking a position on a nationwide ban.
