Nancy Mace Defends Her Vote on Abortion Amendment<\/h2>\n<p>During a recent interview on CNN&#8217;s The Source, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) passionately defended her decision to vote on an abortion amendment alongside her party. The discussion was sparked by a quote from Mace herself, where she criticized her party&#8217;s treatment of women, saying they need to &#8220;stop being a**holes to women.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Stand for Consistency<\/h3>\n<p>When questioned by CNN&#8217;s Kaitlan Collins about her vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, Mace explained her reasoning. &#8220;I want to be consistent on military policy,&#8221; she stated. &#8220;This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mace-defends-ndaa-vote-after-saying-gop-needs-to-stop-being-aholes-to-women\/\" title=\"Mace stands by NDAA vote, urges GOP to treat women better.\">amendment specifically pertains<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/truckers-against-vax-mandate-raise-millions-gofundme-withholds-funds\/\" title=\"Truckers Against Vax Mandate Raise Millions; GoFundMe Withholds Funds\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-cancer-charity-gave-zero-for-research-millions-spent-on-salaries-travel\/\" title=\"Biden Cancer Charity Gave \u2018Zero\u2019 For Research; Millions Spent On Salaries, Travel\">travel expenses<\/a> related<\/a> to abortion services, which the military does not cover. It&#8217;s important to note that the military does not reimburse for travel expenses for elective procedures in any other case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Critique of GOP Messaging<\/h3>\n<p>Mace has been vocal about her concerns regarding the Republican Party&#8217;s messaging and strategy on abortion. She believes that it has negatively impacted their support among swing voters in the 2022 midterm elections. Additionally, she has called on the Food and Drug Administration and President Joe Biden to disregard a court ruling that suspended the approval of mifepristone, a drug used for inducing abortions. It&#8217;s worth mentioning that Mace is up for reelection in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I did not like the idea of this amendment,&#8221; Mace expressed. &#8220;I believe we should be focusing on protecting women and demonstrating our pro-women stance. This has been a source of frustration for me over the past several months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Approval and Next Steps<\/h3>\n<p>The fiscal 2024 NDAA, which allocates $886 billion in spending and establishes policies for the Pentagon, was passed with a vote of 219-210, with four Democrats supporting it. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that the Senate will begin voting on its version of the bill next Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about this topic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click here<\/a> to read the full article from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
