Washington - (CNN)Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney said Sunday he does not support the recently passed Alabama law that would ban abortions with few exceptions, going further than legislation in any other state.
"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. In a tweet Saturday night, President Donald Trump said he supported the same exceptions that Romney called for on Sunday, and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who is also Romney's niece, also said she personally felt there should be exceptions in the law for rape and incest.
Alabama Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed the measure into law last week that would punish doctors who perform abortions and only allows exceptions "to avoid a serious health risk to the unborn child's mother," for ectopic pregnancy and if the "unborn child has a lethal anomaly." Democrats re-introduced an amendment to the bill to exempt rape and incest victims, but the motion failed on an 11-21 vote. The Alabama Senate ultimately passed the bill 25-6.
When she signed the bill into law, Ivey noted the new measure may be unenforceable due to the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that established abortion rights nationwide in 1973. But the new law was passed with the aim of challenging that decision, she said.

Mittens - once again putting aside God for his personal political gains.
That’s Mitt’s Problem.
Of course he doesn’t. No one ever believed that Mitt Romney’s conversion to pro-life was sincere. Hell, nothing about him is sincere. And, yes, I voted for the s.o.b. in the ‘12 general.
Oh, shut up.
Ask Mittens what Conservative planks he agrees with.
Romney is such a disaster for utah unless they’ve suddenly gone liberal on us. We really need a recall provision in the constitution.
A heartbeat is a child.
You are on the wrong side of God “magic pajamas” boy.
“...”for rape and incest and where the life of the mother is at risk.”...
C’mon Romney, you lowlife POS lying scumbag, NAME JUST ONE - JUST ONE - CASE WHERE THAT’S HAPPENED. There are NO RECORDED cases of a mother’s life being in jeopardy.
he favors exceptions “for rape and incest and where the life of the mother is at risk.”...
I HATE mitt but why on the Trump thread, where Trump also wants those exclusions, was he praised and saw the bigger picture and at least 99 plus percent of the unborn would be protected even with those exceptions, etc?
Yes mitt is getting rocked for essentially saying the same thing.
BTW, I was shocked at the responses on that Trump thread.
Since when is saying that murdering babies is ok in certain instances fine with us here?
Never saw “the bigger picture” matter here before when it came to rape and incest exceptions
The fact that this jerkoff is always running to CNN says everything...
Give that man a magic wedgie.
And THIS, ladies & gentlemen, is exactly why Roe should be overturned.
New York and Alabama are not the same.
Each state needs to decide what is right for them.
(and Mitt, you suck. Nobody gives a shit what you think.)
So much for the Mormon lie that they are pro-family.
“’I don’t support the Alabama law’ effectively banning abortion”
We know, Mitt, we know.
Mr. MAGIC UNDERWEAR is heard from again— to continue to flog his nightmare world more-mon socialist agenda (directed by his ‘elders’ who’ve already certified him as a god on Earth, per their Book).
What a “conservative”. What a complete utter fraud.
Show us the offshore accounts Mittens— or shut the F Up!
Banana/Mexican “repub” licken. Never forget the parent company of daddy and son— born in Mexico— American Motor Company. this is not— by the way— a “union” opinion of this clown. It is analysis of his bizarro politics— self-serving.
Just. shut. the. hell. up. Mittney.
I am a non LDS person who lives in Utah.
Don’t be fooled. If it weren’t for guns, and a few other issues, this place would be purple.
