Haley, who describes herself as against abortion, has faced backlash for not pinpointing her stance on abortion rights. The former South Carolina governor promised to address the topic “openly” and “directly,” but has shied away from getting too specific.

“Why not talk about the fact that we should be trying to save as many babies as possible and support as many mothers as possible?” she said to host Margaret Brennan on Sunday.

In April, Haley, the only woman to enter the GOP primary so far, called for a “national consensus” on abortion to “save as many lives and help as many moms as possible.”

On Sunday, the former ambassador to the United Nations called for the elimination of “late-term abortions,” and voiced support for adoption and increased access to contraception. As governor in 2016, she signed a law that banned abortions in South Carolina after 20 weeks.

“You know, there’s some states that have been pro-life, I welcome that. There are some states that have erred on the side of abortion. I wish that wasn’t the case, but it is. I think that we need to make sure that people’s voices are heard,” Haley said Sunday.
