Haley: Republicans need to be 'honest' about abortion

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : In the wake of a brutal round of elections for anti-abortion advocates, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley emphasized at Wednesday night's presidential debate that Republicans need to be "honest" about the country's appetite for abortion restrictions.
55% : Now, with anti-abortion forces reeling after a string of defeats at the state level, Haley is attempting to plot a more compromising path forward for her party.
42% : Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also said that the issue should be decided on a state-by-state basis, and candidates should not "short-circuit states from doing what they need to do.
40% : " Haley's response -- striking in its modesty compared to other harder-line stances from GOP rivals like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott -- came on the heels of Ohio's overwhelming passage of a referendum Tuesday codifying abortion rights in the state constitution.
