5 Republicans who have said the Alabama abortion ban goes 'too far'

Lahren, a conservative commentator and Fox Nation host, is admittedly pro-choice, from a libertarian standpoint.

"You know what?" she said on "The View" in 2017. "I'm for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well."

"Listen, I am not glorifying abortion," she tweeted following backlash to her statements on "The View." "I don't personally advocate for it. I just don't think it's the government's place to dictate."

On Thursday, she tweeted that the Alabama law was "too restrictive."

"I will be attacked by fellow conservatives for saying this but so be it, this Alabama abortion ban is too restrictive," she wrote. "It doesn't save life, it simply forces women into more dangerous methods, other states or countries. You don't encourage life via blanket government mandate!"

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Thursday that he believes the Alabama law "goes further than I believe."

"I believe in exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother, and that's what I've voted on," he said during a press conference, referring to the fact that Alabama's law does not have exceptions for rape and/or incest.

The exception for rape and/or incest issue also caused a kerfuffle in the Alabama Senate ahead of voting for the bill, when the floor erupted with shouting over an amendment to include the exception. The amendment was ultimately defeated on Tuesday and the bill was passed.

Though in the past when he was in the California State Assembly he supported abortion rights, according to a 2003 Los Angeles Times article, he has never supported spending government dollars on abortion care.

His more recent stance is against abortion rights — including supporting the Hyde Amendment and voting to remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

Sen. Collins is a pro-choice Republican from Maine (a state that Hillary Clinton won in 2016).

She called Alabama's measure "terrible" on Thursday.

"The Alabama law is a terrible law — it's very extreme — it essentially bans all abortions," she told CNN. "I can't imagine that any justice could find that to be consistent with the previous precedents."

Critics are pointing out that Collins voted to place Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, despite his previous rulings in abortion-related cases and the fact that he was supported by anti-abortion groups.

At the time, Collins said she was satisfied with Kavanaugh's answers that Roe was "an important precedent of the Supreme Court."

Kavanaugh's presence on the Supreme Court, tipping it conservative, is partially what anti-abortion activists are citing as a reason for putting forth strict abortion laws.

Sen. Murkowski, a moderate Republican from Alaska, has a record of being generally pro-choice and is a member of abortion-rights groups including the Republican Majority for Choice.

She hasn't explicitly come out against the Alabama bill.

"I think you know where I come from on that," she said to reporters on Thursday. "I believe that there need to be exceptions."

Murkowski has been criticized in the past for confirming anti-choice judges despite her abortion-rights leanings.
