Texas Rep. Ron Paul signed a controversial anti-abortion pledge Saturday, joining Republican presidential candidates Rep. Michele Bachmann, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty and former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum.
The Texas Republican, who won the Southern Leadership Conference presidential straw poll over the weekend, signed the pledged just months after officially launching his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
Among those saying they would not sign the pledge put forth by the Susan B. Anthony’s List organization included former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former Godfather’s CEO Herman Cain.
