As Nikki Haley is silent on New Hampshire Republicans\u2019 extreme new abortion ban proposal, <\/em>DNC National Press Secretary Sarafina Chitika released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNikki Haley has made it abundantly clear that she would sign any national abortion ban that landed on her desk and supports banning abortion before many women even know they\u2019re pregnant \u2013 now, as she returns to the Granite State, she must answer whether her support for extreme abortion bans includes the near-total ban proposed by New Hampshire Republicans last week. While Haley tries to pose as a moderate, there\u2019s nothing moderate about Haley and MAGA Republicans\u2019 attempts to rip away women\u2019s freedom to make their own health care decisions. Haley owes the American people answers on her unpopular track record \u2013 and just how far her extreme agenda would go to undermine their fundamental freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire Republicans last week introduced a proposal for an extreme abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cRepublicans in New Hampshire filed one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country on Tuesday.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cThe bill is effectively a total ban on abortion.<\/strong> The absolute earliest a woman can confirm she is pregnant is with a blood test 10 days after ovulation. But this proposed law does not ban abortion 15 days after ovulation \u2014 it bans abortion at 15 days gestation,<\/em> counted from the first day of a woman\u2019s last menstrual cycle\u2026 which means it would ban abortion before some woman have even had conceived. The only proposed exception to the law is for a medical emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley recently pledged her support for extreme abortion bans before many women know they\u2019re pregnant. <\/strong>

Haley said she would sign any national abortion ban that landed on her desk and has repeatedly said she would support efforts to ban abortion nationwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirsten Welker<\/a>: \u201cWould you support a 15-week federal limit?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley: \u201cI would support anything that would pass.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/strong> If it\u2019s 15 weeks, that\u2019s great.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cNikki Haley Says She ‘Absolutely’ Would Sign 15-Week Abortion Ban If GOP Had The Votes\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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