Nikki Haley's Evolving Stance on Abortion

Nikki Haley's speech on abortion failed to provide clarity on her position, despite being billed as a "major policy speech." She called for a "national consensus" on the issue but did not embrace a specific time threshold for banning abortion. Haley downplayed the likelihood of any highly restrictive national law being passed, noting that the Senate lacks the votes. The struggle to articulate a clear position on abortion highlights how fraught the issue is for Republicans on the national campaign trail.
