Conservatives criticize DeSantis for his stance on abortion

The leading anti-abortion group, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, has criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for failing to support federal abortion restrictions, calling it "unacceptable." DeSantis, who has signed one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country, recently stated in an interview that abortion policy should be decided by the states. The group's condemnation comes as DeSantis seeks to court the evangelical vote in Iowa and close the gap between him and former President Donald Trump. SBA Pro-Life America has also criticized other Republican candidates, including Nikki Haley, for not embracing their 15-week standard for abortion restrictions.

The Republican presidential contest in Iowa is heavily influenced by the evangelical vote, which Donald Trump is currently holding on to despite his controversial past. However, there may be an opening for other candidates such as Tim Scott, Mike Pence, or Ron DeSantis to make headway with this key demographic. Meanwhile, the Republican party's recent trend of boycotting LGBTQ-friendly brands and engaging in cancel culture suggests a manufactured moral panic. The Des Moines Register's chief politics reporter, Brianne Pfannenstiel, is on the front lines of the Republican primary field in Iowa and can offer key insights.

Tim Scott's Presidential Ambitions Hindered by Abortion Ban Questions.

Sen. Tim Scott, a potential Republican presidential candidate, has struggled to provide clear answers on his stance on federal abortion restrictions. While he expressed support for a 20-week ban, he avoided questions about more restrictive bans and whether doctors should be prosecuted for performing abortions after 20 weeks. Scott is expected to court the evangelical vote, which opposes abortion rights, but his reluctance to take a firm stance on the issue highlights the fine line that Republican White House hopefuls must walk.
