Conservative Commentator Tomi Lahren Slams Alabama Abortion Bill as 'Too Restrictive'

Conservative political commentatorTomi Lahrenis speaking out against Alabama’s abortion ban.

In another tweet, she challenged anyone who would question her Christian faith because of her less conservative views about abortion.

“If you think banning abortion with no exception for rape or incest will stop women from terminating pregnancy, you’re not being honest with yourself,” theFox Nationhost said. “P.S. you’re not God so don’t you dare evaluate my Christian faith based on your moral superiority complex.”

The national conversation turned to Alabama this week, where Governor Kay Ivey signed into law the “Alabama Human Life Protection Act.” The bill, whichbans abortion even in cases of incest or rape, has been widely criticized. Many celebrities have spoken out against it, and talk show hostBusy Philipsintroduced the hashtag#YouKnowMe, encouraging women to share their stories of abortion. Severalcelebritiesanswered the call, includingMinka KellyandApril Love Gearyhave spoken about their own abortions.

This isn’t the first time she’s spoken up in support of a woman’s right to choose.

“I’m pro-choice, and here’s why,” Lahren explained on an episode ofThe Voicein 2017. “I am someone who’s for limited government. So I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies.”

“I can sit here and say that, as a Republican,” she continued. “And I can say, ‘you know what? I’m for limited government. So stay out of my guns. And you can stay out of my body as well.'”

Lahren responded at the time onTwitter, saying, “Listen, I am not glorifying abortion. I don’t personally advocate for it. I just don’t think it’s the government’s place to dictate.”

In a separatetweet, she added, “Conservatives don’t have to exist in a monolith and share the same brain on every issue. It’s okay.”
