President Donald Trump is carefully distancing himself from a new Alabama law that outlaws abortion even in cases of rape and incest — stressing his “strongly pro-life” credentials while aligning himself with other Republicans who also believe the new statute goes too far. In a late-night Twitter thread Saturday, Trump avoided any direct references to the new law in Alabama or in other Republican-led states that have rushed to enact strict new rules against abortion designed to invite court challenges and eventually make their way to the Supreme Court. But he underscored that his position — Trump has said he opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is at risk — is the same as that of former President Ronald Reagan.
