Abortion was a key issue for Republican presidential candidates at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition’s annual dinner on Oct. 22.
The dinner, which took place at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, featured speeches by six major GOP candidates.
“It is a liberal canard to say, ‘I am personally pro-life, but government should stay out of that decision,’” said Texas Governor Rick Perry. “That is not pro-life. That is pro-having-your-cake-and-eating-it-too.”
“Being pro-life is not a matter of campaign convenience. It is a core conviction,” he added.
