Nikki Haley's stance on federal abortion ban questioned.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley refused to endorse a federal abortion ban at a specific number of weeks’ gestation, saying that to do so would be to lie to the American people about what is politically possible. She believes that a national consensus is needed to pass a federal abortion ban, and the Senate filibuster makes it impossible to pass a federal abortion ban as strict as the ones that many Republican-led states have passed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year. This refusal is particularly noteworthy because just last month one of the nation’s most prominent anti-abortion groups praised her for indicating that she would support a federal ban at 15 weeks.
