Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley clarified Wednesday that she would sign a federal ban on abortion if one reached her desk, but she stressed the opportunity for a president to do so is extremely unlikely.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Wednesday pledged to sign a federal ban on abortion but noted that passing one would be highly unlikely without more Republicans in Congress.

Asked how she would square her own opposition to abortion to “overwhelmingly pro-choice” states like New Hampshire, Haley said she would not personally compromise.
