GOP Rep. Nancy Mace on Sunday urged her fellow Republicans to find 'middle ground' on the issue of abortion and warned that stringent limits, such as the six-week ban enacted in Florida earlier this month, are 'not compassionate.'
In an interview with"Face the Nation," Mace said that abortion is the second-most important issue to voters in her district behind inflation, and she pushed Republicans to find common ground with Democrats on how late into a pregnancy abortions should be allowed.
"Democrats often are at 24 weeks, and that's too far for a lot of people," Mace said."No one wants zero."But she criticized recent action taken in Florida, where Gov. Ron DeSantis, a potential candidate for the, signed into law earlier this month a bill that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.
Mace urged Republicans to show"more care and concern and compassion for women who've been raped," and warned that supporting strict restrictions on abortion will make it difficult for Republicans to succeed in the next general election. Mace said Republicans should also be focusing on other issues related to reproductive health, such as improving access to birth control in rural areas, improving the foster care and adoption systems and making sure rape kits are processed quicker.
