Yes, I’m unapologetically pro-life. … I am fine with a federal law
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your “moderate” Republican candidate.

MODERATORS
I mean, that IS moderate for a Republican. The more typical party view is Make America Handmaid's Tale.
Their point is that that's only moderate by today's standards. It wasn't 20 or 30 years ago. But like they said, "MODERN" republican

I don't usually wish for this, but I hope she gets an ectopic pregnancy and is forced to carry to term
Realistically she'd just fly herself to NY
I don’t wish that pain and suffering on anyone. Ever her terrible ass.
That said, she’s 100% the type of person that would get the medical care, and never mention it on the trail, and continue to try and win over the nuts who want a ban.
She already lies to her base in order to get votes.
That's okay, I'll wish hard enough for both of us.

Don't most people die if they get ectopic pregnancies without medical assistance?
Of the party of freedom!

Stockholm Syndrome is the only explanation for women continuing to support Republicans
There were anti suffrage women's groups.
There were pro-Nazi Jewish people in Germany until they came for them too.
There's always some people within a population who just choose to side with power, even power that loathes them, in hopes they'll become a favorite pet.
The log cabin Republicans come to mind.
Famously, Mother Jones didn't believe in women's suffrage. She believed it was a distraction from class warfare.
I tend to align more with Simone de Beauvoir who saw women as a disadvantaged class as well. I think it's a helpful lens for how we consider gender dynamics and patriarchal structures.

"Mrs. Haley, have you ever had an abortion? You have a daughter. Has she ever had an abortion?" -- The press, if they had any balls.
She would say no regardless of the truth. Asking questions like that without knowing the answer and being able to prove it is basically just tossing a softball.

Seriously. The way they treat all the candidates with kid gloves is ridiculous.
She could say, "Yes I have had many abortions. I'm having one tomorrow! Abortions should be illegal because it's the only way to stop me from constantly having abortions!"
Hypocrisy doesn't matter to them.

"I am going to step on this rake again and again, harder and harder, until the rake no longer slaps me in the face when I step on it."
Sideshow Bob, surrounded by abortion rakes.
I mean, she is kind of a sideshow in the Trump Circus
If she weren't a degenerate buffoon, she wouldn't be campaigning as a Republican.
Anyone who still identifies themselves with the (R) in this day and age can be written off as an idiot and bigot..

You ever get the feeling that certain people are pro-abortion simply because they want neglected, sad children to grow up and become ignorant, angry adults that will vote to give sociopaths, narcissists and psychopath power?
The Dominionists say yes...

The only difference between Haley and trump is that I am slightly more confident that Haley will leave the office when her term ends. Beyond that, same shit.
What a cunt.
Bitch.
What is mind boggling is that either her or Trump will be the next candidate and it still isn't a sure win for the democrats.
But, tbh, looking at politics in the EU nowadays and I feel ashamed of making fun of the USA in the past. We are outfascisting you again, it seems.

If she ends up being the first woman ever to be president my head is going to explode.

I think Republicans are afraid of abortion because deep down they know that the only reason they're here is because abortion wasn't easily available. Gotta keep the garbage coming.

Well, that’ll at least going to earn her the respect and appreciation of every conservative voter, but it’s must not evil enough to pull votes from Trump. She needs to be even more sinister.

It isn't, because this is table stakes. If anything, her status as a mother of a daughter will raise serious concerns that she'll backpeddle if her own daughter has an unwanted pregnancy or miscarriage.
That's the big hurdle that conservative women have. Voters just reflexively see them as more-liberal than their male peers, because the conservative mode of politics is inherently patriarchal. How can you be a True Believer when you're acting against your own best interests?
She needs to be even more sinister.
She needs to be a TV personality with 40 years of accumulated history and its simply too late for that to happen.
There's nothing Haley can do to turn her campaign around. She was doomed from day one, shy of Trump having a sudden cardiac event on the campaign trail. No matter how cruel she behaves, she'll always be seen as a conformer rather than the Real Deal because of who she is and where she comes from.

Psycho shithead.
Because that's proven to be such a winning topic.
Small comfort... After she gets smoked in NH tomorrow, we'll never have to care about anything Nikki Haley thinks or says ever again.

In the same pathetic kind of way Trump is man I guess, yes.
