Tonight, anti-abortion extremist Nikki Haley once again reminded the American people that she would ban abortion nationwide if given the chance \u2014 which would rip access to reproductive health care away from millions of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikki Haley<\/a>: \u201cSo what can we do? Is there room for a federal law? I think there is room for a federal law.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight\u2019s comments come after, just last month, Haley endorsed the idea of a near-total nationwide abortion ban if passed by Congress \u2014 and after she has committed to signing a national ban several times on the campaign trail.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Nikki Haley<\/a>: \u201cWhatever we can get 60 Senate votes on, isn\u2019t that better than what we have now? And if it\u2019s\u2013 if it\u2019s six weeks, that\u2019s great. If it\u2019s 15 weeks, that\u2019s great.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News<\/a>: \u201cRepublican presidential candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is pledging to sign a federal ban on abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: “Yes of course I would sign [a federal ban].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huffington Post<\/a>: Nikki Haley Says She ‘Absolutely’ Would Sign 15-Week Abortion Ban If GOP Had The Votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cWhen it comes to a federal bill, I think there is a place for that.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Haley wants to take her anti-abortion extremism nationwide after she signed an abortion ban as governor of South Carolina that had no exceptions for rape or incest and threatened doctors with jail time. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

TIME<\/a>: \u201cThe law passed the General Assembly last week and blocks women from having abortions after 19 weeks of pregnancy, with no exceptions for rape or incest\u2026 Doctors who violate the law could face a fine or jail time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsweek<\/a>: \u201cHaley described herself as \u2018very pro-life\u2019 and has spent most of her political career fighting for anti-abortion legislation, including signing a law as South Carolina governor in 2016 banning the procedure in most circumstances after 19 weeks of pregnancy unless the mother\u2019s life is at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
