GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley expressed her unapologetic stance against abortion, emphasizing the need for bipartisan consensus on a national ban. In an interview with “Fox News Sunday,” Haley acknowledged the challenges of enacting a federal law on abortion, highlighting the requirement of a House majority, 60 Senate votes, and a presidential signature. She affirmed her pro-life position and noted that there is still a long way to go, estimating that 45 senators oppose abortion. Haley urged senators to find common ground, including accessible contraception and the agreement that no state law should punish women with jail or the death penalty for having an abortion. She also advocated for encouraging quality adoptions and banning late-term abortions, while respecting the rights of doctors who hold personal objections to the procedure. As governor of South Carolina, Haley signed a 20-week abortion ban in 2016. The issue of abortion has become a focal point for 2024 GOP presidential contenders, with former Vice President Mike Pence challenging his rivals to support a 15-week abortion ban. The Republican Party faced setbacks in the last midterm elections, with dissatisfaction among voters due to their handling of the abortion issue following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. Furthermore, 14 states have passed complete bans on abortion since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. Although former President Donald Trump has not explicitly endorsed a national ban, he acknowledges the federal government’s role in protecting unborn life.
