CBS "Face the Nation" interviews for 2023 races: on Abortion


Mike Pence: I'd like to see Mifepristone taken off the market

I'm pro life. I don't apologize for it. I think the fact the Biden administration allowed Mifepristone to be made available on a mail order basis was a fundamental change. Even in states that have limited abortion. I'd like to see this medication off the market to protect the unborn. But also, I have deep concerns about the way the FDA went about approving Mifepristone 20 years ago.

Nikki Haley: Some states are pro-life, some err on side of abortion

I have long said I am pro-life not because the Republican Party tells me to be, but because my husband was adopted. But having said that, I think what happened when it went back to the states now there could be consensus in each state. You know, there's some states that have been pro-life, I welcome that. There are some states that have erred on the side of abortion. I wish that wasn't the case, but it is. I think that we need to make sure that people's voices are heard.
