House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Thursday he opposes Alabama's abortion law because it doesn't include exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. The California congressman falsely claimed these exceptions are part of the Republican platform.
“I believe in exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother, and that’s what I’ve voted on,” McCarthy said at his weekly press conference Thursday. He added that exceptions for rape and incest are"exactly what Republicans have voted on in this House. That's what our platform says." The 2016 Republican platform advocates for the"appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and sanctity of innocent human life," which President Donald Trump has tried to do since taking office in 2017.
The White House issued a statement Thursday: “Unlike radical Democrats who have cheered legislation allowing a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb moments from birth, President Trump is protecting our most innocent and vulnerable, defending the dignity of life, and called on Congress to prohibit late-term abortions."
