Donald Trump said Friday that he believes the laws regulating abortion should stay as they are, but he doesn't disagree with the proposition that abortion is murder.
The GOP frontrunner lit a fresh controversy this week with his shifting responses to a question on abortion policy. He said during an MSNBC town hall on Tuesday that he'd like to see the practice banned, and that women who undergo it should face "some form of punishment." But he quickly backtracked, explaining in a statement that while he believes it should be banned, the punishment should be levied on abortion providers, not the women seeking abortions.
Trump sought to clarify his position during an interview on Friday with "Face the Nation" moderator John Dickerson. The interview will air, in part, on Sunday's broadcast.

"Mr. Trump gave an accurate account of the law as it is today and made clear that it must stay that way now -- until he is President. Then he will change the law through his judicial appointments and allow the states to protect the unborn. There is nothing new or different here."
Dear Donald Trump,
Conservatives oppose legislating from the bench.
That is all.

There is no federal abortion law...
Trump is hopelessly confused on this issue.
You guys think this is going to hurt Trump but it’s not. All you’re doing is letting the Left play you for fools.
Trump says it is murder but he is OK with the existing laws. LOL
When Cruz comes out and says women doing something illegal should have absolutely no punishment, it seems the whole lot of them are screwed in the head.
I am sort of shocked..../ S
I was told by aTrump supporter a few days ago that he never backtracks or needed to clarify his statements...
The media misreported his statements....
I was a liar and a doofus for thinking he has several times...
Hard to disagree with you.
What does Hillary Clinton say about abortion?
