Trump: I am Pro-Life Except in Cases of 'Rape, Incest and Protecting the Life of the Mother'

While not outright condemning the recent Alabama law which bans abortions in all cases except the life of the mother, President Donald J. Trump tweeted his disagreement last night saying that he is "strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions - Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother - the same position taken by Ronald Reagan." 

LiveAction, a pro-life organization, tweeted in response, "Hi Mr. President, please see this powerful testimony from Jennifer Christie, who was raped on a business trip & then discovered she was pregnant. Rape or incest are horrible situations, and abusers need to be held fully to the law — but abortion is not the path to healing."
