Republican candidates debating in Milwaukee all said they’re pro-life. But they differed on whether to go with six-week “heartbeat” limits for abortion or 15-week limits, and whether last year’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade sends the issue back to the states or whether the federal government still plays a role.
The first question went to the only woman on the stage, former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley. Noting that she is “unapologetically pro-life,” Ms. Haley said bluntly that pro-life Republicans need to be honest with the people: to pass a national abortion ban, they'll need 60 votes in the Senate and a majority in Congress.
