  1. “not triggering” ticket is not so easy ma’am. Either trigger your own base against you or you are sure as hell that no sane people will support you.

    But we know the point of her campaign is to wait until Trump’s political demise. Maybe the effort should be spent speeding those up.

  2. What happens if a Woman miscarries ? Will that be classed as manslaughter / infanticide in Alabama ?

  3. Alternate headline: “Trump Lite tries to pretend she’s not just as hateful as Trump”.

  4. It’s amazing how quickly these whack jobs rushed to defend the ruling only to realize how insane it is. It’s a perfect example of how difficult it is to defend the indefensible and how republicans constantly sound like fools trying to argue for their positions.

  5. Maybe she should pivot back to causes of the civil war to deflect attention from this disaster.

  6. This is the one the many times she keeps getting burned because she is running her campaign like she’s running for governor in South Carolina again. Sure she is actually running in South Carolina for the primary this weekend but once that’s over there’s Michigan on Tuesday and then 45 other states. What’s said on the campaign trail in one of the most conservative states for the GOP nominee will end up following her into the other states and into the general election if she gets that far. Like the waffling on the causes of the Civil War it’s ridiculous stuff that people say when they’re running in South Carolina to appease Republicans there and she’s gotten too used to running a campaign this way.

  7. Doesn’t this also mean a pregnant woman is carrying an American citizen inside her and they can’t be deported?

  8. Let’s get ahead of the curve, ask her what she thinks about birth control?

    Get that on record before a southern state’s Supreme Court makes a ruling.

  9. Nikki Haley: I meant, *of course* the cause of the Civil War was IVF treatments…

  10. Alabama defacto ending IVF is so wild to me.

    I mean, I get that they’re trying to force women into motherhood early. That part isn’t a question.

    However, why didn’t they even attempt to hide their intentions behind legalese?

    They had to know that suburban moms would be outraged. I mean, I have no less than 14 cousins born bc of IVF.

    Seems a lot like tying your horse to a train that’s about to depart and being surprised when the horse winds up dead.

  11. Nikki always doin’ that Cha-Cha Slide. “Take it back now yall..”😂

  12. The middle of the road is where people get run over and that is where Haley is standing. She needs a miracle now and keeps putting her foot in her mouth instead.

  13. *In Handmaid’s Tale-esque fashion*, this right here is what they want. Forced breeding and total subjugation of women. The Heritage foundation wants to outlaw all sex unless it is for reproductive purposes only. You know the group that helped with Project 2025.The GQP wants an authoritarian government, but don’t realize this is what we will end up with if we allow it. They don’t realize that once these people are done eliminating everyone else, that they are one disagreement, overheard conversation or other made up reason, from being eliminated like everyone else. If people don’t pay attention and vote for democracy, this will be the demise of America as we know it. Now to go all nerdy and I quote, “So this is how democracy dies, with thunderous applause”. Just watch an orange guy rally.

  14. Cases like this are not really about IVF, per se, or even abortion or birth control. 

    They are designed to be challenged to SCOTUS to force a ruling on personhood and viability. 

    They are designed to trigger state’s rights to the product of conception – human capital. 

  15. She says one thing thinking it’s what her party wants then finds out a majority doesn’t like it then says another. She always does this. She has no backbone.

  16. “Evil Celine Dion Regrets Revealing Truth About Her Intentions”

  17. “IVF is fine for Republican couples only. For everyone else, they’re babies, ah murder, etc.”

  18. Oh the supposed moderate. This lady is just as bad as spray tan stan

  19. I’ve found that when I say something that **isn’t** either cruel or just stupid shit, I very rarely have to walk it back.

  20. Thats ok; just tell us what you did with **YOUR** spare **EMBRYO’s** Haley?

    **”What you did with YOUR spare EMBRYO’s Haley?** The woman/families of **American** deserve to know?

  21. Worth repeating:

    ”What you did with **YOUR** spare EMBRYO’s/**babies** Haley?

  22. There’s a lack of understanding of his the whole thing works from her. Yes, you got a baby from IVF. But they harvest dozens of eggs sometimes and fertilize them all, when they don’t need them anymore, they dispose of them. If Haley says that embryos are children, then she is confessing to paying someone to kill possibly dozens of her children. 

  23. So what does the average person do to stop this madness? Why isn’t the left rising up to fight all this craziness? I feel like the far right is dictating the country’s agenda and no one is standing against them.

  24. I’m sorry but how the fuck was she our rep at the UN? She’s made two major statements, one on the civil war and one on this and she’s had to “walk back” both of those statements. Not much of a diplomat if she has to “walk back” everything and not much of a leader if she can’t articulate a point without being “misunderstood”.

  25. But but what about Hilary… and Joe Biden old… states rights… something something… quick deflect deflect (republicans probably)

  26. She is trying to appeal to everyone, and in the process, is appealing to no one. Nikki will not be president. There is very little difference between her and Trump.

  27. Someone needs to call child protective services. Those kid-sicles are being held in incredibly cramped conditions with no food and in brutally cold temperatures.

  28. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

  29. Is there ANY republican worth voting for anymore?! I may not agree with their policies but McCain, Romney, and Jeb look like bastions of integrity compared to what we’ve seen in republican candidates in the last few years.

  30. Does she have garbage political instincts or garbage advisors or both?

  31. Nope.

    Just another example of your terrible judgement, Nimarata. You want to be a foil to Trump, yet you hopelessly pander to the worst of his supporters. Saying you’d pardon him is immediately disqualifying. Echoing this right wing idiocy is just the cherry on top.

  32. I take no firm position on the religion but just because you believe it’s true doesn’t make it true. Faith is just hope, it’s not evidence. These nut jobs want all to agree that their faith, trumps my rights to think and act in my best interest.

  33. Is a sperm a baby? No, oh I see we only care about controlling women. Vote in November and encourage others to. This is not a drill, this is actually happening now.

  34. Too fucking late, we all already know the majority of Republicans feel the same way, even though the clear supermajority of Americans don’t, and the American people are going to hear about that all during the campaign. You’re going to find out that your fascist candidate, running on a creating a Christian-theocratic dictatorship, isn’t so popular outside of your narrowing voting base of the most misinformed people in any western democracy.

  35. She really can’t walk it back.

    If you believe that life begins at conception, you can’t then believe that an embryo isn’t a living human being.

  36. My wife’s private university had her as a guest speaker and it just underlines my belief that expensive higher education is a signal of privilege more than merit.

  37. Typical Republican bs.They think they should have control over your most private decisions while preaching against the horror of overreaching big government.Christo fascism in action !

  38. I know she didn’t make this policy, but is it odd that I hate her almost as much as I hate the people that did make the policy?

    How can you, especially as a woman, support this shit? Party lines be damned, you are a woman! Why let anyone or anything but yourself control
    or define your body???

    The people are legitimately insane

  39. You know the difference between babies & embryos? You can freeze embryos but not babies. Because embryos are no more babies than acorn are oak trees.

  40. Of course she’s walking it back. Republicans only go backward.

  41. When you stand for nothing it is hard to discuss your position consistently.
