Trump tweets that he favors exceptions to abortion bans

President Donald Trump favors exceptions in abortion bans, he tweeted Saturday night.

"As most people know, and for those who would like to know, I am strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions - Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother - the same position taken by Ronald Reagan," Trump wrote.

Trump's position is different than one taken by Alabama Republicans, who passed a near-total ban on the procedure. It allows exceptions only "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 tried to exempt rape and incest victims, but the motion failed.

In signing the measure into law, Gov. Kay Ivey said it might be unenforceable, but it is aimed at overturning Roe v. Wade. That's the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.

Other states have passed anti-abortion bills in recent weeks. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp this month signed into law the so-called "fetal heartbeat" bill. It generally would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. That can happen as early as six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant.

I think Trump’s just being honest here, which I commend.

But whether it’s the debate over abortion or any other pressing issue —I feel it vital that prayers are said on behalf of the President as he navigates these difficult subjects. That he be given a godly sense of conviction and spiritual clarity when pressed to answer for his stances...

I have no doubt that he's almost as "strongly Pro-Life" as he is strongly Pro-Trump.

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

When we kill innocent children we deface the image of Almighty God. Our love of and duty to life is only as good as our fear of God who will avange every single one of His little ones.

I'm just speculating, but we should not be too shocked if He does it, in part, by defacing Caesar's image.

The Communist News Network is trying feebly to suggest there is a wide chasm between Trump and the states who are enacting pro-life statues. There is room for disagreement on the details between pro-choice advocates. Those differences are minor when compared to the views of the dingbat baby killers.

The crazies are doing this "handmaidens" garbage all over the world now, trying desperately to claim the victim status which so often works for liberals.
