The Hill reports:
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley sidestepped a question on the high-profile abortion case in Texas, in which a woman was denied an abortion that her doctor deemed to be medically necessary.
In the interview on ABC News’s “This Week,” Haley would not criticize the Texas Supreme Court, which diverged from the lower court in denying the woman, Kate Cox, an abortion, but Haley said it was important for the state Legislature to take steps to ensure similar situations don’t happen in the future.
Haley has avoided embracing a specific position on abortion laws, saying that it’s important to be compassionate toward woman in difficult situations, while insisting that she is still as pro-life as can be.
