Nikki Haley once seemed like an outlier. Now, fellow Republicans say she’s provided them a template.

Back in April, Nikki Haley delivered a speech at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s headquarters that left officials from the anti-abortion group disappointed and positioned her as an outlier in the field.

The former U.N. ambassador declined to call for a federal 15-week limit on the procedure and spoke broadly about “sensitivity” and finding “national consensus.” Anti-abortion activists warned that her approach would alienate base voters.

    If she only had a record to check… oh, wait, she does:

    Haley has consistently supported bills that give rights to an unborn baby and restrict abortion, except when the mother’s life is at risk. In 2006, as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, Haley voted for the Penalties for Harming an Unborn Child/Fetus law, which asserted that an act of violence against a fetus is akin to a criminal act against the mother. She has also re-signed a new state law that bans abortions at 20 weeks of pregnancy.[38]

    Haley is opposed to Jail or Death Penalty for women who have abortions.[41][42][43]

    Is that the moderate republican position?
