Former President Donald Trump put abortion front and center in his pre-recorded address to a gathering of religious conservatives in Iowa on Saturday, signaling his road map of how he intends to gain sway with evangelical voters.
Mr. Trump dove headlong into what is expected to be a marquee issue leading up to the 2024 issue reminding those in attendance at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” spring kickoff that it was him that nominated three of the six conservative justices who vote in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade.
He added that he was the first president to attend the March for Life rally in Washington, an annual rally against abortion.Mr. Trump’s pitch on abortion offers a glimpse into how he intends to shore up support among evangelical voters - a key voting bloc in the Republican Party - amid unsavory headlines that could complicate his relationship with the religious right.
Ahead of last year’s midterm elections, Democrats turned the decision into a campaign rallying cry, urging voters to flood the polls and give Congress the needed votes to “restore the protections” from the Roe ruling. The back-and-forth thrust abortion back into the spotlight and reignited Democrats’ rallying cry against Republicans.
