Rep Nancy Mace says GOP 'tone deaf' on abortion: 'We have not learned our lesson' from midterms
Fox News
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., said on "Fox News Sunday" that Republicans "have not learned our lesson from the midterm election" when it comes to abortion.
"We need to find a middle ground on this issue, and I have a great pro-life voting record," she said. "But some of the stances we take and especially when it comes to rape and incest, protecting the life of the mother, it's so extreme that middle, independent voters, right of center, left of center, they cannot support us."

"We've got 14 counties in South Carolina that don't have a single OBGYN doctor," she continued. "So, if we're going to ban abortion, what are we doing to make sure women have access to birth control? What are we doing about, how do we improve adoption services in our country? What about the kids that are not wanted? What about our foster care system? What about getting nurses that can treat women who need OBGYN care in those rural areas? What are we doing about getting birth control over the counter at pharmacies? There are a lot of things that we can do to protect life and not alienate the independent voter."
