South Carolina’s only congresswoman, Nancy Mace, criticized her fellow Republicans for too aggressively restricting abortion rights.
“Handmaid's Tale was not supposed to be a roadmap,” she told NBC host Chuck Todd.
“I’m staunchly pro-life,” Mace began with a caveat. “It will be an issue in November if we’re not moderating ourselves.” On the TV news program, Mace stressed the need for making exceptions for women who have been victims of sexual assault, noting a traumatizing personal experience she first revealed publicly three years ago: that she was raped at 16 years old. And South Carolina’s lone congresswoman turned up the heat on her own state as well.
