  1. So how many embryos did she destroy

  2. Ya see, she's just trump – Lite. Her political values line of Ride along with trump's.

  3. Abbalama. Alabama. Alabama. Alabummla..

  4. When a politician says, “to me,” you can go ahead and disregard the rest of the talk.

  5. If they are babies can they be claimed on your taxes? Can women be charged with a crime for miscarriages?

  6. She strikes me as very arrogant

  7. An acorn is not a tree.
    An embryo is not a baby.

  8. It feels like she bought an education diploma.

  9. I am spanish man and she makes me feel like Indian women

  10. This was not even a coherent point. What does she believe? lol

  11. Namrata is an idol worshipper..Take care

  12. She is a joke and Disgrace to America

  13. What are doctors for if politician
    Know it all….

  14. Don't scratch you head in Alabama. What falls down from there are real people!

  15. This bish gives me whiplash. Dumb n selfish! So she had choices and now it will be limited and prosecuted if others seek it? So glad she is going nowhere. Is this a woman? Handmaiden tale?🙄

  16. She just put the nail in her own coffin

  17. Niki Haley is like a plain only good for back throat choking

  18. All these words to say nothing. I love how conservatives always want small government unless it’s about issues that are important to them. So it’s my body my choice on vaccines, but when it comes to reproductive healthcare, oh yeah, the government should be all up in it. Disgusting. Haley wants us to think she’s moderate, but she isn’t.

  19. “We need to have these conversations.“ No we actually don’t. Not if we respect people’s bodily autonomy.

  20. Ask her what she did with her other embryos and why she isn’t carrying them to term?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  21. Agree with the Supreme Court – it’s the law of the land.

  22. I always bring up the fact that sperm is alive and swimming from the minute itsade in my body. That's life right there. Are we concerned about Sperm?

  23. If they're children then my niece should get 10 deductions on her income tax. She has ten embryos left so?

  24. She will never become US president for sure

  25. Her hand movements are getting annoying like trumps hand accordion.

  26. 😅😅😅On Alabama State Income Tax Returns they are worth $300 each deduction. So Nikki this means we can argue our Federal Tax Returns should allow women to take the standard dependant deduction about $3,000 each 😅😅😅 oh and let's open the floodgates for more Octomoms. Republicans are sooo stupid. The scotus has really caused CHAOS in this country overturning Roe v. Wade, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

  27. What was she trying to say.? I am confused by her response. Court decision adversely affecting IVF or not? Republicans are going crazy against how society is moving? Let them try banning IVF (if embryos have rights then IVF can’t be legal) let’s see how it turns for republicans

  28. Joe Biden could answer that even better saying it’s the woman’s right to choose what she want not talk about what “you” feel is right. And he’s not even a woman.

  29. No zygote, blastocyst, embryo or <21 wks fetus can survive outside a uterus even with best, most advanced NICU care.

    Haley is all about medical care for herself but denies it for all others because of this criminalization in AL. She is a complete hypocrite.

  30. Any woman with an IUD now criminalized in Alabama.

    Largest research University in AL offering IVF has already discontinued program because of criminalization.

  31. Cravenly transactional ignorant political response.
