As hospitals across Alabama pause IVF treatments, Nikki Haley is suddenly trying to claim she never said what she said.
Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is frantically trying to quell the controversy over comments she made about IVF after an Alabama court’s recent ruling that frozen embryos are children.
“We don’t want fertility treatment to shut down, we don’t want them to stop doing IVF treatment, we don’t want them to stop doing artificial insemination,” Haley said on CNN on Thursday. “But I think this needs to be decided by the people in every state. Don’t take away the rights of these physicians and these parents to have these conversations.”
It was Haley’s second such attempt to explain away her controversial stance on the issue. On Wednesday evening, Haley blurted out a much more gibberish response.
“Well first off all, this is, again, I didn’t say that I agreed with the Alabama ruling. The question that I was asked is ‘do I believe an embryo is a baby?’” Haley said on CNN Wednesday evening. “I do think that if you look in the definition, an embryo is considered an unborn baby. And so yes, I believe, from my stance, that that is.”
But calling an embryo—the stage before the microscopic cellular mass is labeled a fetus—an unborn baby is not exactly correct.
He’d still be the nominee
I look forward to the maga goons who will keep writing Trumps name in no matter the circumstances. Jail, dead, exiled to Moscow… they’re a cult.
Dude could run from prison and he might even win, depending on whether the economy slips in the shower between now and November.
After a full 24 months of liberals screaming “He’s a fascist! We have to stop him! PLEASE VOTE! It’s the only way to stop the fascism!!!” Biden would personally hobble down to the cell and let him out for his swearing in ceremony, because fuck sorry dawg there’s nothing we can do a rule’s a rule.
You’d be getting “Please donate $20.24 to STOP TRUMP NOW! The fight for the Midterms STARTS TODAY!” even as Roberts was holding up the copy of Hustler magazine Donny asked to be sworn in on.
