Kramer Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Actor Jim Carrey's latest tweet took a shot at Alabama's new abortion law, but it seemed to backfire, receiving praise from pro-lifers. The "Dumb and Dumber" star tweeted an image Saturday of his artwork depicting Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, who signed one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the nation, as a fully formed preborn child being aborted in the womb. "I think If (sic) you're going to terminate a pregnancy, it should be done sometime before the fetus becomes Governor of Alabama," Carrey wrote.

Ted Cruz ✔@tedcruz This is not OK. Today’s Left: vicious, angry & consumed by hate. Instead of insults & dehumanizing rage, we should return to civility. I disagree w/ Carrey’s politics, but believe we should respect his humanity nonetheless. I wish he could reciprocate. #LoveIsStrongerThanHate Jim Carrey ✔@JimCarrey I think If you’re going to terminate a pregnancy, it should be done sometime before the fetus becomes Governor of Alabama. 3,882 11:49 AM - May 20, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 1,920 people are talking about this A representative from Twitter told Fox News the company is "not able to comment on individual user accounts."
