Noted televangelist Robertson made the remarks Wednesday on The 700 Club
Said that Alabama's law banning abortion in nearly all cases is 'ill-considered'
Robertson supports overturning Roe v Wade but said Alabama went too far
Alabama law has no exceptions for rape or incest and would jail abortionists
Christian televangelist Pat Robertson has said that he believes Alabama's near total ban on abortions is 'extreme' and that the state has gone 'too far'.
Robertson, who opposes abortion and hopes to see Roe v Wade overturned, made the remarks on Wednesday on The 700 Club, hours before Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed the new law.
The Alabama law contains an exception for when the pregnancy creates a serious health risk for the woman, but not an exception for rape or incest, and would punish doctors who perform abortions with up to life in prison.
'I think Alabama has gone too far,' remarked the 89-year-old Robertson.
