Nella Domenici has an abortion problem. Not personally, but certainly politically.
The 63-year-old Republican candidate for U.S. Senate is struggling with how to convince New Mexico women voters that she’s not going to take away their access to abortions, while not exactly being pro-choice. Her website repeats former President Bill Clinton’s iconic line that abortion should be: “safe, legal and, most importantly, rare,” and Domenici says she supports New Mexico state laws, but I asked her what her personal stance is on the issue.
