GOP Candidates Dodge Questions on Texas Abortion Case, Leaving Voters in the Dark

Republican presidential candidates, including Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Chris Christie, have avoided directly addressing the Texas abortion case involving Kate Cox, a woman who was denied an abortion despite her fetus having a fatal genetic condition. DeSantis described the situation as "difficult" but did not defend Texas officials, while Haley expressed support for states that ban abortions without stating her opinion on Cox's case. Christie criticized the Texas Supreme Court's decision and called for candidates to address the issue directly. The avoidance of the Cox case highlights the political challenge Republicans face in a post-Roe v. Wade world, as they continue to push antiabortion policies despite recent electoral defeats.
