DOMA ‘Won’t Count’ in Iowa, Democratic Senator Says
When it comes to November’s presidential elections, voters in the swing state of Iowa will not care about ‘hot button’ issues such as same-sex marriage, Sen. Thomas Harkin (D-Iowa) told CNSNews.com in a telephone conference call Tuesday. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said he thinks voters in his state care deeply about marriage but do not realize that Democrats are serious about wanting to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, the federal law that protects states from being forced to recognize same-sex marriages contracted in other states.
