She would say no regardless of the truth. Asking questions like that without knowing the answer and being able to prove it is basically just tossing a softball.
Do you not know what investigative journalism is? Have you never heard of an exposé? Journalists are supposed to dig until they find something then back it up with interviews/records. Yes/no/maybe should never enter the equation when determining what’s of the public interest to uncover.
She could say, “Yes I have had many abortions. I’m having one tomorrow! Abortions should be illegal because it’s the only way to stop me from constantly having abortions!”
Sorry, that was thrown out the window when Rush Limbaugh went after Chelsea Clinton. And it really went out the window when the entire Republican media sphere went after Sasha and Malia Obama.
“Mrs. Haley, have you ever had an abortion? You have a daughter. Has she ever had an abortion?” – The press, if they had any balls.

A little bit of investigative reporting can work to find out if it is a lie. Getting her on record is step one. They won’t even go to step one.
Never ask a question in that setting where you don’t already know the answer. Step one is doing the investigation and then get them on record.
It’s a medical procedure, so it’s protected under HIPAA.
That doesn’t mean they didn’t tell anyone who isn’t a medical professional about it. Start interviewing her high school and college friends.
This doesn’t matter IMO. They can cry foul and say that it was a mistake and they’ve changed since, without batting an eye.
That’s a lot of work for a maybe.

Then hopefully the reporter won’t ask a covered entity. Everyone else is fair game.
Seriously. The way they treat all the candidates with kid gloves is ridiculous.

Hypocrisy doesn’t matter to them.
Asking her is fine, leave all politicians kids out of the spotlight (unless they are campaigning).
Sorry, that was thrown out the window when Rush Limbaugh went after Chelsea Clinton. And it really went out the window when the entire Republican media sphere went after Sasha and Malia Obama.
And it was wrong then and remains wrong now. Kids can’t help who their parents are, leave them out of it.
But it’s not about the kid. It’s about the shameless double-standard. It’s about Nikki as a parent as well.
