Republicans and Democrats offered competing visions for reproductive rights Friday as the anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision ending nationwide abortion access threw a spotlight on a polarizing issue sure to dominate the 2024 election.
Thousands of religious conservatives gathered for a two-day conference in Washington to hear Donald Trump's main rivals for the Republican presidential nomination try to outflank the frontrunner, who has been criticized for flip-flopping on his position.
But a mile or so north of the White House, Republican presidential hopefuls lined up at a plush downtown hotel to berate the Biden administration and compete for the backing of 3,000 evangelicals attending the Road to Majority conference. "It was the right thing to do -- don't let anyone tell you it wasn't," DeSantis said in a veiled swipe at Trump, who has criticized the Florida law as "too harsh."Pence, who is running a distant third, told the conference that every candidate should support a ban on abortion that kicks in at 15 weeks of pregnancy or earlier.
Road to Majority -- organized by the Georgia-based, two-million-member Faith and Freedom Coalition -- brings together the major Republican presidential hopefuls on the same stage for the first time. Biden and Harris have "done more to defend and expand reproductive freedom than any other administration in history," the abortion rights organization said.
