.....”Bachmann never answered the question. If she is 100% pro-life, then she is against all abortions and should want them all banned. Bachmann signed the Personhood USA pledge, which includes this passage: “If elected President, I will work to advance state and federal laws and amendments that recognize the unalienable right to life of all human beings as persons at every stage of development.”
However, that is not the stance Michele Bachmann has taken publicly when asked about late term abortion. She says, “That’s a state issue”. Then denies she said that. Then says she would have “see the clip” before she can comment on it. Then Bachmann dodges a question on whether late term abortion is a states’ issue or not.
For someone who is making her stance on life a centerpiece of her campaign, Michele Bachmann is beginning to sound as confusing as Herman Cain on the issue. One week before the caucus, Iowans deserve to know where Michele Bachmann stands on late term abortion.”

Bachmann and Perry Fight for Votes in Southwest Iowa ......"A few miles away, more than 125 caucus goers jammed into the Main Street Café to see Rick Perry. The Texas governor arrived about 15 minutes late. He had to enter the room through the kitchen because there was simply no way to fit through the other entrances. Attendees were virtually hanging from the rafters.
Perry was accompanied by Joe Arpaio, the outspoken sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona. He is a conservative favorite who is renowned for his strong stances on illegal immigration. The event lasted only 10 minutes, with Perry hammering conservative red meat issues and playing up his outsider status.
“I’ve got all of the respect in the world for the frontrunners in this race, but ask yourself, if we replace a Democrat insider with a Republican insider, you think we’re going to really change Washington, D.C.,” Perry quizzed the crowd.
The quick visit was well received. “I’ve always been impressed with Perry as a person,” attendee Carl Heinrich said. “So many people evaluate the candidates on their ability to speak or their ability to debate and to me that is so superficial. The thing that I look for is the depth, the character, whether they’re conservative or not, what they say in terms of the issues that are important to me.”........
