Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) defended voting on an abortion amendment of a bill with her party after the Republican trashed the way her party treats women.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins pushed Mace on her vote on the National Defense Authorization Act during Friday's The Source, working in a quote from the representative's own words from a stand-up interview with the network outside the Capitol: "And you said yesterday — and I’m quoting you now — that your party needs to ‘stop being a**holes to women.’ So, why did you vote for this today?”

CONSERVATIVE NDAA AMENDMENTS UNLIKELY TO MAKE IT INTO THE SENATE'S VERSION

“I want to be consistent on military policy and whether travel — because this is very specific to travel — the military does not pay for abortion services at all,” Mace said. “But this was strictly related to travel. And the military does not in any other case reimburse for travel expenses for elective procedures."

Mace has criticized the GOP's messaging and strategy on abortion, claiming it influenced swing voters against Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections. The congresswoman also urged the Food and Drug Administration and President Joe Biden to ignore the court ruling suspending the approval of mifepristone, the drug used to induce an abortion. She is up for reelection in 2024.

"I did not like the idea of this amendment," Mace went on. "These are not issues that I believe we should be voting on right now without some consideration of what we can do to protect women and show that we’re pro-women, which has been my frustration for the better part of the last seven months.”
