Former South Carolina Republican Governor and last remaining challenger to Donald Trump in the GOP presidential nomination race Nikki Haley hummina-hummina’ed her way through trying to explain her support of the Alabama Supreme Court ruling, saying on CNN Thursday that “if you look in the definition, an embryo is considered an unborn baby.”
On Wednesday, Haley, who herself had IVF to conceive her child, said straightforwardly, “embryos, to me, are babies.” On Thursday, she tried to hone the edges of her statement, claiming that while she believes that embryos are babies, she’s actually okay with legally slaughtering those babies (like she opted to after her child was born). “I think that the court was doing it based on the law, and I think Alabama needs to go back and look at the law,” she stammered.
