Back in April, Nikki Haley delivered a speech at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s headquarters that left officials from the anti-abortion group disappointed and positioned her as an outlier in the field.

The former U.N. ambassador declined to call for a federal 15-week limit on the procedure and spoke broadly about “sensitivity” and finding “national consensus.” Anti-abortion activists warned that her approach would alienate base voters.

    FTA: declaring that she remains personally opposed but does not “judge anyone for being pro-choice.”

    Which to me is wishy-washy bullshit for "I'll say anything to get elected but I prefer to say nothing." Good luck trying to be pro-choice when she pushes for a nationwide ban.

      Lol, she never once said she opposed a nation wide ban during the debate. She attacked the idea that a nation wide ban could be passed given the current make up of the Senate and a need for 60 votes. Rest assured if a ban could be passed, as president she would sign it.

      This is their game plan moving forward… which was the old game plan of “don’t say the quiet part out loud.”

      Exactly! She could wishy-washy her way into the white house though if she can get past trump and the Republicans coalesce around her.
