Mitt Romney says he doesn't support Alabama's new abortion law
Sen. Mitt Romney on Sunday said he doesn't support a recently enacted law prohibiting abortion at any point during pregnancy in the state of Alabama.
"I don't support the Alabama law," the Utah Republican and former GOP nominee for president in 2012 told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "I believe that there ought to be exceptions. I'm pro-life, but there ought to be exceptions for rape and incest and where the life of the mother is at risk."Thursday, is the nation’s most restrictive abortion law.
"You're seeing laws on both sides of this argument that are in the extreme. And whether it's New York and Virginia, or whether it's Alabama and Missouri, people have gone to the — to the wings, if you will," Romney said Sunday. "I don't think that's productive. I think something much more toward the center makes a lot more sense."
