Trump Dodges Question Over Whether Any Past Partners Had Abortions Asked by Maureen Dowd whether he was ever involved with anyone who underwent procedure, Trump replies simply: ‘Such an interesting question’
Trump’s reply to Maureen Dowd: ‘What’s your next question?’ Martin Pengelly
2 April 2016 The controversy over Donald Trump’s stance on abortion took another turn on Saturday, when a New York Times interviewer wrote that the Republican presidential frontrunner appeared to avoid a question about whether any woman he had been involved with had undergone such a procedure.
Analysis How to stop Donald Trump: women may hold the solution A recent poll found 70% of women had a negative view of the Republican, and the ranks of single women – who tend to vote Democratic – are growing
Maureen Dowd referred to Trump’s suggestion this week that women who have abortions should be punished – a comment he swiftly retracted – when she wrote: “Given his draconian comment, sending women back to back alleys, I had to ask: When he was a swinging bachelor in Manhattan, was he ever involved with anyone who had an abortion?
‘Such an interesting question,’ he said. ‘So what’s your next question?’”
Trump made his initial remark on Wednesday, in an interview with MSNBC host Chris Matthews. Controversy ensued, highlighting the candidate’s extremely poor ratings with female voters of all political stripes.

One question regards others’, not the person questioned, actions. The other pertains directly to the person asked.

You have to remember that the Trumpkins have fully bought into Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”. In this case, they focus on rule# 4:
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.”
Trump doesn’t seem to have any moral code, and they use that to excuse whatever sleaze Trump engages in. But as a Christian, Cruz at least tries to live a moral life - so they focus on anything they can represent as “unChristian”, whether real or existing only in their fevered imaginations, and then pound him mercilessly.
Kind of says a lot that they are relying so heavily on the works of a known socialist radical, doesn’t it?
“He is humble before God”
He’s part time humble ... God and country when it suits him.
Go back and read about the scum he defended in the courtroom.
Since Trump did not categorically deny each lady he dated had not had an abortion, it must be a confession of guilt.
See how stupid that sounds when it is turned around on you Trumpetts?
I’ll second that motion!
The Question was...should women who have ILLEGAL abortions...course the lying media needs to twist it because thy simply can’t comprehend truth...
“These constant accusations that Ted wraps himself in the Bible are nonsense. He admits to being a Christian. There was a time when we thought that was a good thing ... that was BT, before Trump.”
Look up ‘Elmer Gantry’. That is older than Trump, and I’m certain that you know exactly what it is about.
“So, Steelfish, have you ever been involved with a female who had an abortion?”
There are no Girls in his basement, just teddy bears...
“paramours”
Good God, are you a 90 year old spinster?
Tell us Steelfish, how many of your partners have had abortions? (sorry, not sure if you are male or female - if you’re the latter, how many abortions have you had??)
AND YOU CHEER THIS GARBAGE? WHAT AN ASININE QUESTION TO ASK OF ANYONE!
That is disgusting and I pray you realize that vs pushing this crap.
You all ought to consider the Pharisees. These were the most scrupulously religious of people, and ones who took great pride in claiming to be so.
How ridiculous. That was not a question that should have ever been asked nor should it be answered.
Pitiful, really and truly pitiful.
He's promoting himself as anti-abortion while attempting desperately to straddle the fence on the issue. That makes it the business of everybody, particularly those in his own party for whom such things matter (a small minority, growing smaller every day).
We understand steelfish and a handful of others collude to bombard the forum nonstop in their ineffective zeal to stop Donald Trump
BUT AIN’T NO WAY THIS GARBAGE FROM THE FAR LEFT GUARDIAN FROM ACROSS THE POND QUALIFIES AS BREAKING NEWS
it’s ridiculous.

Told you I’d be awake
Its more DESPERATION from the Establishment.
What the Establishment/Globalist don’t understand is that they are despised.
There game is up, and they along with their fellow cohorts in the media keep pretending everyone loves them. Noting could be further from the truth.
My suggested answer:
Well I’d like to be able to rule that out, and also say that I’d never ask anyone to have an abortion. But like I said with the nukes, we should never rule anything out, and if one night I started to drink, and of course since I never drink than I’d get really drunk, and if the next morning I woke up next to Rosie O’Donnell, God forbid, and if a month later I found out ... Ugh ... Well I can’t promise that I wouldn’t consider suggesting it under those circumstances.
Cruz has two half-sisters, one is deceased.
He may not have known if any had the abortion.
By dodging this question Trump proved he is ready for prime time.
Trump should have said, “How many abortions have you had, Ms Dowd?”
