In response to Nikki Haley reiterating \u2014 on the eve of the Roe v. Wade anniversary \u2014 that she would sign into law a national abortion ban, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the eve of the anniversary of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, as women struggle to safeguard their own health and safety after Trump opened the floodgates to extreme abortion bans across the country, Nikki Haley said once again that she\u2019d sign a national abortion ban if it hit her desk. It\u2019s time that the media listen to Haley\u2019s demands to stop calling her a moderate: She is so proud of her extremism that she\u2019s running ads on her record signing away women\u2019s reproductive freedom \u2014 including a ban before many women even know they are pregnant with no exceptions <\/em>for rape or incest, that threatened doctors with jail time \u2014 and on the campaign trail, she\u2019s unapologetic about her promise to sign any abortion ban that lands on her desk. Nikki Haley is right about one thing: She\u2019s no moderate, and her extreme position on abortion is radically out of step with the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW: Haley reminded voters that she has repeatedly pledged to sign a national abortion ban into law.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margaret Brennan<\/a>: \u201cWould you [sign a national abortion ban]?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley: \u201cI’ve said I’m fine with a federal law.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be clear: Haley has told us exactly who she is and where she stands. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cFor all of those that are reporting that I\u2019m a moderate, I will ask you or anybody, Trump or anybody, Fox, who\u2019s saying that I\u2019m not a conservative, name one thing that I wasn\u2019t conservative on. \u2026 Show me where I\u2019m moderate, because I\u2019m not.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And let\u2019s not forget that Haley has said she would sign any legislation banning abortion nationwide that landed on her desk. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirsten Welker<\/a>: \u201cWould you support a 15-week federal limit?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley: \u201cI would support anything that would pass.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cWhatever we can get 60 Senate votes on, isn\u2019t that better than what we have now? And if it\u2019s\u2013 if it\u2019s six weeks, that\u2019s great. If it\u2019s 15 weeks, that\u2019s great.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cSo what can we do? Is there room for a federal law? I think there is room for a federal law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News<\/a>: \u201cNikki Haley, 2024 Republican candidate, vows to sign federal abortion ban if elected president\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cYes of course I would sign [a federal ban].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cNikki Haley Says She ‘Absolutely’ Would Sign 15-Week Abortion Ban If GOP Had The Votes\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cWhen it comes to a federal bill, I think there is a place for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cThe issue that we have at hand right now is \u2026 is there a place for a federal law. And I think there is a place for a federal law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley<\/a>: \u201cThe debate that we’re having in this country is \u2026 can there be a federal law that deals with abortion \u2026 I do think there’s a place for federal law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley is running ads that brag about her extreme record that includes signing an abortion ban as governor with no exceptions for rape and incest that threatened doctors with jail time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley\u2019s support for banning abortion nationwide is deeply unpopular with a majority of voters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA Today<\/a>: \u201cAmericans overwhelmingly oppose the next goal of many anti-abortion activists, to enact a federal law banning abortion nationwide. By 80%-14%, those surveyed opposed that idea, including 65% of Republicans and 83% of independents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cMost Americans support abortion access one year after Roe v. Wade: poll\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cA 64% majority of US adults say they disapprove of last year\u2019s Supreme Court ruling that women do not have a constitutional right to an abortion, with half strongly disapproving \u2013 an assessment that\u2019s almost entirely unchanged from CNN\u2019s poll last July in the immediate wake of the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Haley has a yearslong anti-abortion record that would rip away reproductive freedom. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cHaley, who \u2018often clashed with members of her party because she labeled them insufficiently conservative\u2019 on abortion,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
