President Trump urged Republicans to stay \u201cUNITED\u201d on abortion in a series of tweets late Saturday night and wrote that he is \u201cstrongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions \u2013 Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother.\u201d The tweets come just days after\u00a0Alabama passed the country\u2019s most restrictive abortion law<\/a><\/span>, which bans the procedure unless \u201cabortion is necessary in order to prevent a serious health risk\u201d to the woman.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump tweeted \u201cwe have come very far in the last two years\u201d by appointing 105 federal judges, but \u201cwe must stick together and win \u2026 for Life in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we are foolish and do not stay UNITED as one, all of our hard fought gains for Life can, and will, rapidly disappear!\u201d Mr. Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

The tweet did not mention the Alabama law specifically but appears to be at odds with it, since the law effectively criminalizes abortion and does not make any exceptions for rape and incest. So far, he has remained silent on the Alabama law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
