Trump calls for Republicans to be ‘united’ on abortion

President Trump called for Republicans to be ‘united’ in the midst of a wave of new abortion laws signed by Republican governors.

Trump tweeted late Saturday night that he was “strongly pro-life” and shared former President Ronald Reagan’s views that there should be exemptions for rape, incest and the mother’s health. 

“We have come very far in the last two years,” Trump said, highlighting the appointment of 105 federal judges and appointing two Supreme Court justices. 

….Federal Judges (many more to come), two great new Supreme Court Justices, the Mexico City Policy, and a whole new & positive attitude about the Right to Life. The Radical Left, with late term abortion (and worse), is imploding on this issue. We must stick together and Win….

….for Life in 2020. If we are foolish and do not stay UNITED as one, all of our hard fought gains for Life can, and will, rapidly disappear!

 “The Radical Left, with late term abortion (and worse), is imploding on this issue,” Trump said. “The Radical Left, with late term abortion (and worse), is imploding on this issue.”

Trump said Republicans must “stick together and Win for Life.” 

“If we are foolish and do not stay UNITED as one, all of our hard fought gains for Life can, and will, rapidly disappear,” the president said. 

Trump’s tweets come the same week as Alabama passed the most restrictive abortion laws, prohibiting it in almost all cases except when the life of the mother is in danger.
