Former President Donald Trump said Republicans need to do a better job of explaining their positions on abortion—with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother—and to contrast that with the pro-abortion Democrat Party platform.

In an interview with talk show host Wayne Allyn Root, Trump said abortion bans must provide exemptions for situations like incest, rape, and protecting the life of the mother, a position that was upheld by former President Ronald Reagan as well. A “certain standard” on abortion exceptions is necessary and “you have to talk about it,” he said.
