abortion

The republican candidates battled it out as they raised of the issue off abortion in Iowa last Saturday. Perry simply said “being pro-life is not a matter of campaign convenience, it is a core conviction.” Perry gained a lot of support as he dwelled on the issue that abortion shouldn’t be legal. He feels that if you are pro-life then you should agree with him and fight against the issue. You aren’t pro-life if you think that it is a issue for the person to decide whether or not they want to keep the unborn baby. Which turned into a direct jab at republican candidate Herman Cain. Herman Cain stated that he was pro-life but that abortion should be a personal decision for that person and their family. Perry stated that if you agreed with Herman Cain that you are not pro-life, you just want to have you cake and eat it to. Mr. Cain raised a lot of heat, questions, and come backs from the other republican candidates after he said that the government doesn’t really have the right to stick their nose in abortion issues. But Herman Cain is trying to smooth over his statement as he says that if he becomes president that he will put more force and strengthen the current laws to prevent abortion, he says that abortion should be illegal throughout the nation. Not only did it stir up some controversy between the other republican candidates but his supporters were anxious to hear him speak about the issue and explain what his views are In more detail. On Saturday Mr. Cain didn’t really try to put himself out there as he stayed on his campaign bus and only presented himself when it was time for him to speak. Right after he spoke he went to his bus and alienated himself from everyone. Michelle Bachmann who hasn’t been in the spotlight or even barley seen in the eye of any supporter or candidate used this to her advantage to bring her opponent down. Mr. Cain has overshadowed her ever since he became popular in the past couple weeks. Michelle Bachmann asked the pubic to reconsider their choice and take a good look at their political background. Abortion should never be ok and pushed to be legal so if Mr. Cain is a supporter then why should he be the next president. Mrs. Bachmann persuaded the people to think wisely as she states, “this is the year when social conservatives can have it all, this is our year where we don’t compromise. This is our year when we don’t settle.” Not only did Michelle Bachmann speak up but Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul all urged the public to be careful who they were siding with. Mr. Santorum indirectly going against Herman Cain by telling the public to be careful with who they trust, are they standing up for the fights and battles we are all fighting for. And last but not least reminded the people of Iowa about their support on the ban against partial-birth abortions that he is trying to pass.
