Republican White House hopefuls are courting influential religious conservatives at an event in Iowa that marks the unofficial start of the state’s 2024 caucus campaign.
The gathering comes as abortion rights have reemerged as a pivotal issue in elections after conservatives last year achieved their long-sought goal of overturning the landmark Roe. v. Wade ruling, which had affirmed a federal right to abortion.
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. Despite the credit Trump received for his judicial nominations, he was criticized after last year's elections for saying thatwas due to abortion foes' opposition to exceptions for women who became pregnant by rape or incest or whose life was at risk.
Pence, whose advocacy group has pushed for Congress to pass legislation including a national abortion ban beginning around six weeks, routinely discusses his Christian faith in speeches. Like Scott, he has visited regularly with evangelical pastors during his early trips to Iowa, with the aim of building rapport with clergy who can be influential in their churches among politically active social conservatives.
