Sen. Mitt Romney: “I don't support the Alabama law” effectively banning abortion
"I don't support the Alabama law," Romney told CNN's Jake Tapper on"State of the Union."Romney, a former Massachusetts governor who was the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, said that while he is against abortion, he favors exceptions"for rape and incest and where the life of the mother is at risk." Romney joins other prominent Republicans outside of Alabama in saying that the law goes too far.
But the new law was passed with the aim of challenging that decision, she said.Romney on Sunday told CNN that there were"extreme" laws on both sides of the abortion debate and pointed to New York and Virginia, which have debated expanding abortion rights. The New York law passed in January said abortions could be performed after 24 weeks if the fetus is not viable or when necessary to protect the life of the mother.
