While at a campaign event in New Hampshire, Nikki Haley answered a question about the Kate Cox abortion case in Texas, saying “you have to show compassion and humanize the situation.”

“The US needs Israel more than Israel needs the US!” What a bird brain statement. 😂
Pro fetius they could give a rats butt after birth
Not even pro-fetus. Being pro-fetus would logically lead to supporting prenatal care for all.
@@anniejuan1817You are probably the same kind of person who also thinks teens and young adults still jumping inside a bounce house sometimes is okay too
What a non answer
Blah blah blah
How many foster or adopted kids has she cared for?
Has she given a kidney, a part of her liver, or a lobe of lung to someone who will die without it?
Women shouldn’t have to go to court to receive the right to live or protect their reproductive rights.
The guy on the right is the “Haley Whisperer.” 😆
But they’re NOT saving this particular fetus, nor are they protecting the mother. It’s very easy to come down on one side of this issue and stand your ground. People are doing it up and down this comment section, why can’t Nikki Haley be definitive?
💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
Cop out. Disappointed.
I’d NEVER vote for a lying, Republican. Period.
And your answer is?
What question? The law is the law. This woman could have quietly gone away for her “health” and no one would ever know. She CHOSE to put her family in the spotlight. Her husband is sad too.
She followed the rules in Texas. She had to petition the court to get permission to have an abortion. She got that, but Ken Paxton didn’t like that answer, so he appealed.
Yes, she could have just sidestepped the law. But she chose to do the honorable thing and try to work within it instead.
Of course they are sad – they are both grieving. Have you no empathy?
@@anniejuan1817Nice try. So doing 90mph in a school zone is sidestepping the law? No. And yes, this was a private matter. I didn’t make it public. Let’s see how it works out. Btw Do they have a name for the baby? Do they want to bury the remains? Just asking.
@@anthonythomas1504 When Ms. Cox petitioned the court for permission to receive the medical care she needed, that made her story public – it’s a matter of public record in Texas. Not private. That’s how courts in Texas work.
She followed what she was told to do when her pregnancy stated to go south, and some idiots still aren’t satisfied. What should she have done – sidestepped the law first, without even finding out if the court would rule against her? That’s not honest or honorable.
Are you on the live organ donation lists? Just asking.
@@anthonythomas1504 “I didn’t make it public.” No one said you did, Tony. It’s very interesting that you would make that cognitive jump. Very telling. Very defensive.
@@anniejuan1817 I got your cognitive jump, sweetie. I said what I said. She and her husband are fools.
Don’t Murder Your Children.
still a BS answer… she didn’t address the point the mother’s life is in danger, only talk about saving baby’s life
Nikki Haley is full of it. She is afraid of Donald Trump. 🤣🤣🤣
She misleads. Women do not have elective abortions at 37-39 weeks. It does NOT happen. I hate these GOP liars. None of them should hold any office.
Could’ve and should’ve just left Roe v Wade alone. You want to be pro life that’s your right and your business
Professionals who work with pregnant women KNOW that abortion at 30 something weeks is almost unheard of. NO woman volunteers to carry a fetus to term to then abort it, no one. Something is extraordinarily wrong for that to be an option.
Ha. Good politics TX. Way to tell the world that compassion is just a talking point.
Doctors and patients should decide medical procedures, not politicians or judges or fundamentalist. This is America, not Afghanistan.
Texas is extremely backward.
@@jamesmason2228You are probably the same kind of person who also thinks teens and young adults still jumping inside a bounce house sometimes is okay too
Again with that nonsensical lying rant about “getting an abortion at 37, 38, 39 weeks.”
Bless her heart, her Republican party does not support that and she represents her party. I don’t believe her for a minute.🤦♀️🗳💙🗳
that wasn’t an answer lady!! shame on you
By the way, I have an ocean beach property for sale in AZ. When was the last time a Republican told the truth?
A complete non-answer. Ken Paxton has been handling this with zero compassion
Niki, you’re playing to the left and we don’t believe you. Once a Republican always a Republican.
She’s not pro life but only pretending as hypocrite.
It seems that with this law, most white women from Texas will be financially able to travel out of State to get an abortion while the majority of poor minorities will be forced to give birth there. Which means that in just a decade or so, Texas will have more less wealthy minorities in their State than white people. Republicans aren’t going to like that. And to think THEY are the ones who made it possible!
Just wait until the numbers of how many more mother’s will have to sign up for benefits like foods stamps, Medicaid etc. One woman in GA got pregnant unexpectedly and then lost her job AND got put on bedrest at 2 months pregnant. She had to go on Government benefits for food and insurance. The baby was born at 25 weeks gestation, spent almost a year in the NICU and had at home Nursing care once she was released. That one pregnancy cost the Taxpayers over $10,000,000. One mom and one baby..
nice hand movements… compassion MEANS giving women THEIR choices. NOT YOURS.
Same BS as when Roe was overturned. All I heard was mothers and babies need help and support. Anyone seen any evidence of that? I sure haven’t!!
She said in this video, “We don’t want any women to sit there and deal with a rare situation and have to deliver a baby in that circumstance.” Not sure why everyone is calling her answer noncommittal. That sounds pretty committed to me.
I don’t understand when a woman wants a baby they’ll spend thousands of dollars on in vitro to have a baby or if they have a miscarriage they’ll cry for losing their baby. So if you want it it’s a baby if not it’s not? I had a miscarriage and I cry every year of the anniversary of my baby dying and can’t wait to see my baby in heaven someday. All lives are precious.
Because some miscarriages threaten the mother’s life you were lucky but a lot of women with non-viable fetuses need emergency Health Care to remove the rotting fetus from her womb or the mother dies and the Supreme Court of the State of Texas told a woman that she still had to carry her non-viable fetus even if it meant she might lose her not only her Health but her life
If it was the father’s life that was in danger from the pregnancy the laws would probably be quite different.
That b!tc* has a condition called doesn’t need to be a parent.
Let’s make one thing clear if doesn’t matter what your political views are Republican or Democrat, extreme right wing religious bigots should not be dictating women’s health rights or putting pregnant mothers at risk of death! Haley spoken like a true politician didn’t answer the question!
I promise i am TRYING to give her a chance….. BUT she just seems like your everyday “say whatever to get elected” candidate that doesnt have any real views or opinions….. remind ya of anyone? 😅
Hillary cough cough
She simply did not answer the question…
making her as useless as the rest of the GOP.
If you don’t want to be the next Kate Cox, vote blue💙. And Nikki is a hypocrite calling herself pro-life when she is for death penalty or she doesn’t want gun control laws.
You know how you could “humanize” the situation … giving someone autonomy over their OWN body 🫠
Yes only democrats should have abortions
No answer, because she has no convictions, and will say and do whatever she thinks will get her elected. No country for old RINOs.
Nothing said. She gave a vague answer
If you tie her hands she can’t speak or think. Maybe she secretly wants to be an orchestra director.
NEXT question. When elected, YOU represent ALL of the people…not just those who think the way you do. How can you form an opinion about yourself and claim to be PRO LIFE…when you want Pro Abortion people to vote for you? You can’t have a stand and TRUELY represent ALL of the people. You need to look at each case on a case by case basis and decide if you’re for or against. THIS IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL problem or solution.
To clarify, 37 week abortion is at the 9th month period. 9.75 to be exact. Wouldn’t that be after birth?
No. _Human pregnancy is actually an avarage of 40 weeks_ — so it’s nine _calendar_ months but *ten* _lunar_ months. Full term is considered 38 to 42 weeks.
But at 37 weeks, a _normal_ fætus can usually be delivered without much risk of complications.
*So:* if the mother or the baby develop… issues at any time between _viabilty_ — _i.e.,_ 24+ weeks — and spontaneous labor at term, mother is treated if needed, and they make sure fætal lungs are good _and then induce labor_ with the goal of a vaginal delivery of a healthy, *live* baby, possibly resorting to a cesarean birth if necessary.
ALSO: This was the protocol _before_ and *after* Roe v Wade.
Will not vote for Niki .I a voting demo
Worl d population must be controlled and anortion must be legal
Nasty woman, wizard of Oz
You really can’t trust any republican’s opinion on abortion. The republican party will always pander to their base of radical Evangelicals no matter what. When it comes to persona and family business both parties want control. The Left wants to divide you from your children while the Right wants the last say on whether you are going to have a family if you can afford one or not. Where is the party of “MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS”. Both Partys are pandering and paying lip service.
Hypocrites, you’re double talking. Vote Blue for Women Healthcare 💙
She did ok until she brought up the less-common-than-a-talking-unicorn bit about late term elective abortions. She was ok until that piece of verbal diarrhea. She is as unfit to lead as any other republican.
“we don’t want” Middle finger to you lady. I’m no part of your “we”.
@@redredred8408 You are the kind of person that proves abortion should not only be legal everywhere but mandatory in cases like you.
Bottom line? Not anyone’s business, and especially not the government’s business
You are probably the same kind of person who also thinks teens and young adults still jumping inside a bounce house sometimes is okay too
Abortions for Dems..their DNA would never make anything special
It’s fun reading the comments and seeing that almost nobody knows what the ruling was and why it was required.
She’s just as bad as Trump!
We have lawmakers making medical decisions for us. Are you serious?
Republicans are all garbage. Every single one.
She said, I ignore all of the context and facts of the matter and just argue we won.
she is a plant for the dems she has dem donors giving her millions for her campain don’t be fooled she is a fake….
Deal with a rare situation. mkay whatever. I don’t trust any of these repugs. It’s a simple a question like these they can’t answer for a woman seeking emergency care.
What a weasel. Nobody has an abortion at 38 weeks. That’s called birth.
So, Nikki, based on what you just said, YOU ARE NOT PRO LIFE!
So the Republicans are the arsonists and the firefighters at the same time?
She’s evil! Nasty woman! Bet she’s had a few!
Religion in politics will destroy this nation. All religions are man made!
Here is the thing…she said she is Pro-Life, but what she described…is 90% of the Pro-Choice club. People who are pro-choice are not immediately pro-abortion. They want it available, but at a last resort.
Taliban and GOP have a competition going on about how to control women in their countries.
I don’t understand what she means by an abortion happening in the 37 to 39 weeks. From research I have done. that doesn’t happen.. Most state have limitation on when you can get an abortion.many are at 20 weeks , the exception being the life of the mother . Also in most state you can’t get an abortion after 24 weeks because the baby is viable. and a C section can save the life of the mother and child. Politician in there ads alway show full ternm babies In the womb . They are not the ones being aborted.
I think this a very personal situation that can NOT be governed by anyone, but the individual and the DOCTORS. There should NOT be any Law telling anyone what to do with her body. It seems like the Republican Women want to live in the cave man era!!!! No Thanks Nikki. We will pass on you. 💙⚖️🇺🇸🦉⭐️
I’m staunchly pro-choice and I will never vote for anyone who thinks they can make a decision for me about MY OWN BODY. My health care is between me and my doctor. Done. End of story. Glad she is a little more reasonable than most MAGA people, but I will not for a candidate that is not for democracy. My body, my choice, my vote.
This woman is a lying Trump copycat
NON Answer
ALL—ALL Rethuglicans are MAGA. MAGA is here to stay and so is their effort to overthrow democracy. Vote ‘em out permanently.
The states won’t do that, but I am glad she is pointing out that at least this situation is ridiculous.
She’s disgusting, vote Blue
THE PREGNANCY WAS NONVIABLE.
Really? That is just an appeasement answer from her…no thing else.
Nikki Haley wants your neighbor to decide your medical decisions! What a rock star she is. She is disgusting, just like the others in her parrty.
Okay good Nikki Haley is pro-life people that can’t afford the child should just leave it in her care
Useless sound. Thanks!
Didn’t answer the question
Word salad
Did she say “…anymore than we want women getting abortions at 37, 38, 39 weeks”. Ummmmm…😕😕😕…isn’t that just about the whole pregnancy! What?!!!!!
Shes a smuck! Big mistake putting her in charge. PASS
Biden and Obama have said determining when human life begins “is way beyond my pay grade” even though there has been a scientific consensus on it for 40 years.
Texas doesn’t have a “medical board”. It has state Republican representatives who want to control women.
She went from one extreme to the other NOT answering the question. 😮
Reproduction is not the business of the government, the courts or the politicians.
Pro life people brought us to this current disgusting point in history where women are forced to compromise their health! Sick people, sick country!
Nikki only wants “humanization” that is micromanaged by and vulnerable to Republicans and cops.
No one has an abortion at 37, 38, 39 weeks unless the situation is life threatening, baby in distress or mother at risk of death. And it would be delivered. FFS. Does anyone really believe a woman carries a baby that long and says, nah, changed my mind. It doesn’t happen and no doctor would do it. The party of small government, sticking their noses in everywhere, old white men with no medical qualifications making these decisions. Vote them all out.
Don’t believe her crap.
most americans who say they are pro life are liars. if they support the death penalty they are not pro life. very simple
Spoken like a true RINO.
If this women will not stand up for women rights!! She WILL NOT- I am hoping she DOES NOT WIN!! women are not having late term abortions unless something went very wrong!!! Not voting for NICKY !!
What a cop out!
As a o nurse I’ve stood in the delivery room watching a mother labor to give birth to a child with anencephaly! NO HEAD! There are certain reasons a woman has to abort late term! These politicians need to stay out of my delivery room!
No to Haley!
No one likes a disloyal person!
