Presidential Roundup: What the candidates are saying about abortion
Donald Trump begins advertising abortion record on Facebook
Former President Donald Trump still prevails widely in most polls for the Republican nomination. Despite media efforts to portray other candidates as rivals, they are not statistically within striking distance in most measures of who will win the primary contest. The contest continues to focus on reproductive issues. Here are some developments:
Trump began advertising his antiabortion agenda and record in Iowa last week. They aired on Facebook and touted his ability to be the only Republican to appoint enough justices to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Former South Carolina Gov. and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley once again reiterated her support for a national ban in the hypothetical situation that Congress would pass one. This has been a careful calculation because she thinks it’s politically impossible that there would be 60 votes for such a measure in the Senate. But in supporting it, she appeases the Republican base.
