Long time televangelist Pat Robertson decried Alabamas new abortion ban as extreme, saying on his show on Wednesday that the state legislature has gone too far.
Alabamas law, which has been passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, includes a penalty of up to 99 years in prison for doctors who perform abortions and has no exceptions for rape or incest, Robertson noted on his show.
They want to challenge Roe vs. Wade, but my humble view is I dont think thats the case Id want to bring to the Supreme Court because I think this one will lose, Robertson told viewers of CBNs The 700 Club on Wednesday.
God bless them, theyre trying to do something, he said of Alabama legislators. Speaking before Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) signed the bill into law, Robertson said it would be ill-considered, though he also denounced the Roe ruling.

Wow, too Dystopian for Pat.
Pat Robertson thinks Alabama has gone too far.
