a federal abortion ban and said it would not be honest for a Republican to promise such an unrealistic prospect to the American people.,” Haley, who was ambassador to the United Nations and governor of South Carolina, said,"For a national standard, I think we have to tell the American people the truth."
“So the idea that a Republican president could ban all abortions is not being honest with the American people, any more than a Democrat president could ban these pro-life laws in the states,” Haley said. “So let’s be honest with the American people and say: Let’s find national consensus. Let’s agree on getting rid of late-term abortions."
Haley argued that it would be unrealistic to endorse a specific number of weeks of pregnancy when the Senate filibuster would be likely to stand in the way of passing a strict federal ban.
