Michele Bachmann's speech at an anti-abortion rally in St. Paul marked her first public appearance since the end of her presidential campaign. The Republican Congresswoman called for the repeal of Roe vs. Wade, but would not say whether she plans to run for re-election to her House seat.

The National Journal is quoting an anonymous source who says the congresswoman is dropping her bid for the White House. The source says the campaign sees "no viable way forward" after her sixth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.

Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann has agreed to three debates with her DFL opponent Jim Graves on the week before the Nov. 6 election, the St. Cloud Times reports.
