WASHINGTON - Several Republicans in the U.S. Congress are criticizing a new Alabama law that will ban nearly all abortions in the state as too extreme, saying exceptions should be made for rape and incest and questioning whether it will hold up in court.
Asked about the new law at a Thursday news conference in Washington, House of Representatives Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy of California said that while he opposes abortion, Alabama’s law “goes further than I believe.” Alabama’s law is the most restrictive in the nation, and abortion rights activists have said they will sue to block its enforcement.
In a sign of the political sensitivity around the issue, most national Republicans were reticent on Thursday to weigh in on Alabama’s new law. President Donald Trump’s appointment last year of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court has created a conservative-leaning court that many believe may be open to overturning Roe v. Wade.
