President Donald Trump has declared himself “strongly pro-life”, days after two U.S. States passed tough new restrictions on abortions, but said exceptions should be made for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. He spelled out his position on abortion in his first comments on the hot-button issue since Alabama’s Governor signed a near-total ban on the termination of pregnancy.
“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...” he tweeted late on Saturday. He added: “The Radical Left, with late term abortion (and worse), is imploding on this issue. “We must stick together and Win for Life in 2020.”
