This is such an easy layup for any reporter. Haley had her own son via IVF. Part of the IVF process is to ~~reject embryos~~ kill babies and only implant the most viable one(s). Someone should ask her how many of her ~~embryos she rejected~~ babies she killed in order to have her son. Bonus for the follow up question: Why was this baby killing ok for you, but not for others?

There is no such thing as an “unborn baby”. It’s not a baby until it’s born. Before that, it’s fetus, before that an embryo, and before that a zygote. This is why uneducated idiots should not be making decisions which involve science and medicine.

Edit: fixed

With this stance, they are coming for birth control.

In Handmaid’s Tale–esque fashion, Haley has tried to toe the line on the issue of third-party fertility in a futile effort to keep voters from turning away from her floundering campaign, even though she conceived her son via artificial insemination.

Jesus fucking Christ, these people. For fuck’s sake!

She can't even get the definition of embryo right and we should trust her with nukes??

Don’t take away the rights of these physicians and these parents to have these conversations.”

So.... she's pro choice?

Maybe she should get clear on the definitions, and make a statement on what she actually believes.
Because this correction she just made, is based on a very fundamental misunderstanding of what an embryo is.

Oh Christ here we go again with the StAtEs RiGhTs lie...

It's one thing if arguments were made in good faith, but these assholes just hide behind the states rights issue until they're in the position to make it federal...

Oh no! Businesses are shockingly deciding it's not worth possible manslaughter charges for possible technical malfunctions. How fucking surprising.

These fucking idiots never think about how this stuff could affect them until it does. As long as it only hurts the right people, they cheer it on.

What I found hilarious (except not) was that she said it should be a conversation between a woman and her doctor, although the embryo is a baby and killing it is murder so... Not much to discuss there is there?

Discussion is pretty much conspiracy to commit murder under that law, right?

I posted about this a few days after Roe was overturned. I’m a bit surprised it took this long for IVF to be attacked. Next will be stem cell research, then contraception.

If you were an adult in the 1980s-90s, you’ll remember this.

Haley might be young, but she’s an idiot if she didn’t see this coming. It was her own party that made these same moves 40 years ago, and they haven’t been subtle about repeating history.

I guess all republicans are morons, but come on. This is not a surprise.

I think the Alabama law is quite clear. Every month a woman's egg drops and she doesn't go get impregnated, she's a murderer. All women need to be pregnant from puberty to menopause, and if they aren't, they're killing babies.

Yep.

Bunch of damned retards.

Conservatives are losers with no platform since religion is dead as fuck as a platform.

So she doesn't want IVF to stop but does still think embryos are babies. To me this reads like someone who thinks literally all embryos retrieved during the IVF process must be used. For those who aren't aware, IVF can potentially end up with 8 or so viable embryos.

Nikki Haley is a fundamentalist extremist that is advocating for a full ban on abortions after six weeks (which makes abortions essentially entirely illegal). Just because she isn't Trump doesn't mean she isn't fucking crazy.

The comments from The Daily Show on her and her being a so-called "moderate" are even more poignant now.

You can't believe anything that comes out of any conservative politician's mouth.

That's RIGHT! Just like Abortion this should be a "STATES RIGHTS" issue wink wink nudge nudge!
