Liz Cheney says she is pro-life but state abortion bans ‘cannot stand’
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said she is pro-life but disagrees with state abortion bans, saying they “cannot stand.”
Cheney, one of the most outspoken Republicans against former President Trump, joined CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning as she campaigns for Vice President Harris. She was asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper about her policy disagreements with Harris.
“You have pro-life women all across this country who have been watching what’s happened in places like Texas and places like North Carolina, where since Roe was overturned, you’ve had laws put in place at the state level that are preventing women form getting life saving care,” Cheney said.
Cheney provided examples of women who may need an abortion for life-saving care or have a miscarriage that now can’t receive care because Republican-led states have implemented restrictions to the procedure after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
“I think that’s where you have women, who, like me, have been pro-life who are saying, no this, what we have seen, cannot stand,” she said.
Cheney said women who are pro-choice and women who are pro-life are uniting behind Harris to make sure other women across the country have health care.
