Politico: Huckabee hosting Iowa abortion forum

Eight presidential candidates have been invited to speak about abortion at a forum that 2008 Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee will host next month in Iowa, the conservative group Citizens United confirmed to POLITICO. The event will be formally announced later today.

At the gathering, Citizens United, best known for the eponymous Supreme Court decision that last year altered the nation’s campaign finance landscape, will also screen a documentary about abortion that features Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and current Fox News program host.

“Every conservative candidate for president will be fighting to come to this event,” said David Bossie, Citizens United’s president. “I think the campaigns see the value to be at a forum, in Iowa, three weeks before the caucus, standing next to Mike Huckabee. This is a unique opportunity.”
