Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley delivered a speech setting out her policy on abortion in Virginia on Tuesday (25 April).

The former United Nations Ambassador spoke at the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America headquarters in Arlington.

According to reports circulated beforehand, Ms Haley was likely to try and differentiate herself from her rival GOP candidates, with her remarks focusing on an anti-abortion stance in an attempt to appeal to swing voters.

“Republicans won’t win the hearts and minds of Americans unless they’re able to address difficult and personal issues with compassion while sticking to our principles,” Ms Haley's campaign spokesperson Nachama Soloveichik said.

Reports also indicated that Ms Haley was predicted to speak about how her husband was adopted, something which she has previously cited as a reason why she is against abortion.
