President Trump’s 2020 campaign spokeswoman joined other Republicans in her disapproval of Alabama’s ban on almost all abortions, and suggested the president shared her view. During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday, Kayleigh McEnany said she disagreed with Alabama’s decision not to allow exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape and incest. “You know, I personally am for the exceptions,” McEnany said. Other Republicans have tried to avoid the contentious issue with many dodging questions by saying it’s a states issue. The White House, when asked for Trump’s opinion about the law, changed the subject to focus on Democrats and late-term abortions.
