I appreciate the civility. I will attempt to document his five positions on abortion. I will start that he is ProLife.

1) Trump maintains he is most ProLife candidate in the race.

2) Trump States women should be punished who have abortions

3) Trump says issue is unclear and be left to the States

4) Trump now reverses position and says the woman is the victim and should not be punished

5) Trump then says laws are set on abortion and need to stay that way

6) Trump then said that he would work too change the laws

So as someone who has worked for decades to support the unborn, do you see why many of us are concerned with his ever changing position?

I appreciate the civility. I will attempt to document his five positions on abortion. I will start that he is ProLife. 1) Trump maintains he is most ProLife candidate in the race. He's campaigning. What's wrong with this?

2) Trump States women should be punished who have abortions Only if abortion was made illegal. Obviously today, that is not the case

3) Trump says issue is unclear and be left to the States Wasn't the argument that it should be a States right issue. What's wrong with this?

4) Trump now reverses position and says the woman is the victim and should not be punished Here we agree. Wish he would of stayed true to his first position. He may have if the 'pro-lifers' didn't jump down his throat.

5) Trump then says laws are set on abortion and need to stay that way Of course they are. Only a Constitutional Amendment will change anything at this point. GWB had both Houses of Congress for 12 years, so by all means pile on Trump.

6) Trump then said that he would work too change the laws Aren't we all? We can push to amend the Constitution.

So as someone who has worked for decades to support the unborn, do you see why many of us are concerned with his ever changing position?

I see hate Trump for anything (I'm don't direct that at you, just in general). He's not polished and I don't see that as an impediment. But we can keep electing slick politicians that have all the right answers since that has worked so well in the past.

I appreciate your civility as well. I agree that Trump’s statements this past week on abortion have been confusing because of the way quotes have repeatedly been taken out of context from the conversations that he was having with mostly hostile “journalists”. I admire that he is willing to engage in these conversations and try to answer as honestly as he is able to.

The intention by most has been to trip him up and damage his candidacy. To me, who actually watched some of the interviews and the “town hall” nothing he said seemed inconsistent with what he has said before. I enjoyed hearing what he was thinking, but hope that he will avoid most interviews that are really intended only to be “gotcha” sessions in the future
