Uh oh, did Trump just go all FReeper on us?
Back away from Das Blinkin Lights. Some sewers are best left capped.

Trump is an idiot. His followers are sheep. No way will I ever vote for Trump. I will skip the top of the ballot if Trump is on the (R) side.
When you ask any of them whether they are pro-life or pro-abortion, they come right out and give you the same answer every time.
And WHERE has that gotten us, exactly?? The country is in a MESS, because we don't WIN anything anymore!!!
So let's shake up the Uniparty by electing someone who has a different opinion about abortion every couple of hours!!!
I don’t get it. So if a woman gets an illegal partial birth abortion, pulls the out 90 percent of the way and pays a doctor to suck the brains out, it’s outrageous to go with the logical position: she should be punished? And now PRO-LIFE groups are attacking Trump in mass over this? Just... bizarre.
Don buddy...
Rule #1- Don’t answer hypothetical questions.
Rule #2- If someone asks you a hypothetical question see Rule #1
Sad to see the level of delusion and denial here. You may believe it with all of your heart but you cannot keep saying these things outright with the nation as it is now and expect to win. You honestly think all the moderates and liberals who voted Obama in are going to hear Trump and suddenly have an epiphany and say ‘Durr gosh I guess Trump is right? Better vote for him now!’. This is practically extending the keys to the WH to Hillary. Something I’m more and more beginning to think Trump is trying to do regardless of all the silly red meat he throws to easily impressed conservatives.
A fast ball down the middle for Hillary Clinton to hit out of the park with the militant left vote and take votes away from Bernie next Tuesday in Wisconsin.
I have speculated about Trump as Hillary’s ‘little helper’ in this race.
His comments help her with the ‘woman as victim’ scenario she likes to throw around.
SUM TING WONG?
Trump projecting a New York liberal’s idea of what conservatives want.
I agree with Trump but major mistake for him to put it out there. Not in today’s climate.
Lesson to Trump: Never answer a hypothetical question. I know you are learning on the fly and you are not a politician BUT... really, you don’t ever answer a hypothetical question.
He’s finished. He just lost every woman that may have voted for him. All except for the far right - no abortion at any cost - woman. And that’s probably only about 10% of woman that vote. If that.
With comments like he’s been making, I am once again starting to think he’s a Hillary mole.
We have one of the most corrupt, likely criminal people DC has ever seen running for President and all we can do is “nominate” a bunch of losers. We can’t find one good, honorable person to run. It’s pathetic. And we all get what we deserve.
The woman is clearly the chief person responsible for the crime. She's the one arranging the abortion. Should she also be given a pass if she takes out a hit on her 3-year-old? Can anybody cite a single useful analogy of an automatic amnesty being granted to the principal in a premeditated homicide?
And this idea that women these days are "brainwashed" to think abortions are morally innocuous, and therefore should be held harmless is weak. Apart from being fantastically sexist and infantilizing, the argument, when taken to its logical extent, would mean that only women who were raised in secular households where they were taught that abortions are simply the removal of a non-sentient embryo should be given the amnesty, since they didn't realize they were killing an actual baby. Meanwhile, women who were raised in scripturalist Christian homes and were taught that abortion is murder would be the ones prosecuted for committing homicide. Does that make any sense?
If the woman is brainwashed, or pressured, or a victim, or insane, then that should be determined at her trial, same as in every other 1st degree murder case. Any pro-lifer who would disagree with this is engaging in some very contorted thinking.
Gingrich would have said “We have abortion on demand, abortion for any reason, third trimester abortion, baby parts being harvested and sold and no one is accountable for any of it. Your question is stupid and so are you”.
This is bad...why?
The woman getting an abortion is a guilty as one who drowns a child in a tub.
I’m saddened that he’s walking this back as a “misspeak”.
Given this and some of the posts in this very thread, I'm now honestly a bit confused. Is the pro-life movement actually about making abortion illegal and punishing the lawbreakers, or just about talking up the sanctity of life?
Actually, in most cases, there probably won't be anyone to punish at all, since RU486 (which would allow for easy self-abortions, and would presumably become as easy to buy as pot) will most likely be the abortion method of choice in the event a ban is passed. Unless, of course, pro-lifers decide to support prosecuting women for illegally obtaining the drug, but that would present an embarrassing oddity. Punish the woman for acquiring the murder weapon, but not for killing her unborn child? Is there any planet on which this could be taken seriously?
Honestly, those who claim to be against abortion, but who don't support prosecuting women for murder, are virtually NO DIFFERENT than "personally opposed" pro-choicers. I fail to see what would actually change for women contemplating abortion.
It's either murder under the law, or it isn't. If it is, that has logical and necessary consequences. Otherwise, this is just a joke.
