'No Republican president can ban abortions any more than a Democrat president could ban all those state laws,' Haley said. But that's (unfortunately) not true.
Haley claimed that a national abortion ban can’t pass because there aren’t 60 Senators who would vote for it; she said the country needs to come to a consensus before Congress could ever pass a national ban. Pence gathered some courage to needle her and said, “To be honest with you Nikki, you’re my friend, but a consensus is the opposite of leadership.” He proceeded to argue that abortion isn’t a state issue, it’s a moral issue, and he supports a federal ban.
Haley shot back: “When you’re talking about a federal ban, be honest with the American people. We haven’t had 45 ‘pro-life’ Senators in over 100 years. So no Republican president can ban abortions any more than a Democrat president could ban all those state laws. Don’t make women feel like they have to decide on this issue when you know we don’t have 60 Senate votes.”
