Dana Milbank: Trump paved the way for Alabama’s abortion law

Washington • The ship has sailed, the train has left the station, the horse is out of the barn, the genie is out of the bottle, and the toothpaste is out of the tube.

“As most people know, and for those who would like to know, I am strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions — Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother — the same position taken by Ronald Reagan,” Trump tweeted on the weekend.

He was trying to distance himself from Alabama’s new law begging the Supreme Court to ban abortions even for victims of rape and incest.
