“I will answer that when you ask Kamala and Biden if they would agree to 37 weeks, 38 weeks, 39 weeks,” Haley replied to Tapper. “Nobody asked them what time they were ready to go. What I’m saying is why go and put this on the American people? Why do this? Why not speak the truth?

“What can we all agree on? ” she asked. “I think we can all agree on banning late-term abortions. I think we can all agree on encouraging adoptions and making sure those adoptive children feel more love, not less. I think we can agree that doctors and nurses who don’t believe in abortion shouldn’t have to perform them I think we can agree that contraception should be accessible . And I think we can all come together and say that any woman who has an abortion should not be jailed or sentenced to death.”

Reporters in turn pressed Jean-Pierre at Monday’s briefing on whether Biden, who is Catholic and has said he supports a woman’s right to choose despite his personal opposition to abortion, would sign off on any restrictions. to “late” abortion in law, as Haley suggested.

“I didn’t watch that town hall so I can’t really say exactly what she said,” Jean-Pierre said of Haley’s comments. “What I can talk about is what the president said, which is that he will continue to call on Congress to reinstate Roe v. Wade, and so if you know the details of Roe v. Wade, you see where the president is, so I’m going to leave him there for now.”
