On Monday,told CBS News she would not pledge to push for federal rules on abortion because it is an"unrealistic" goal for the next president and that promising progress with Congress on this controversial issue is not being"honest" with the American people.
"For a national standard, I think we have to tell the American people the truth," she said."In order to do a national standard, you'd have to have a majority of the House, 60 Senate votes, and a president. We haven't had 60 pro-life senators in 100 years," she said. A national poll of registered voters released in the summer of last year found 61% were against the demise of Roe, and 35% of voters supported the reversal.
