Days after Alabama passed the nation’s strictest anti-abortion laws, President Donald Trump said he supports pro-life measures that include exceptions for victims of rape or incest.
In a series of tweets, Trump said his abortion policies are similar to those of late Republican President Ronald Reagan.
“As most people know, and for those who would like to know, I am strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions - Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother - the same position taken by Ronald Reagan,” Trump tweeted.
He went on to urge the GOP to stick together on the issue.
“If we are foolish and do not stay united as one, all of our hard fought gains for life can, and will, rapidly disappear!,” Trump tweeted.
Trump’s tweets are his first since the passage of the controversial Alabama law, one of several around the country designed to push the Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade, the historic 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. Alabama’s law would make it a felony for a doctor to perform or attempt to perform an abortion and does not contain an exceptions for victims of rape or incest.
The only exception in the Alabama law is abortions performed to protect the life of the mother.
