Trump says women may need punishment if abortion is banned http://bloom.bg/25wR9aJ
Follow the twitter link to the Bloomberg article.

Problem is as we ALL know his Campaign will release a statement of clarification flipping on the issue within 24 hours.
Because this is what happens when you try to elect a IDIOT that runs his mouth before he thinks.
Who, Cruz?
Yep. Even though I’m a Cruzer, I would never expect this from him.
Kudos to the Donald to actually step up and make this comment. Lets just hope he doesn’t flip-flop as he so often has.
Were I Senator Cruz, and I’m not, I would call for a return to the states rightful jurisdiction and let the states decide how they handle it.
Some would call it a dodge but he isn’t running for emperor.
And why would any conservative have a problem with this?
Because it is the act of abortion not directed toward women!
“In fact, the states expressly treated women as the second “victim” of abortion; state courts expressly called the woman a second “victim.” Abortionists were the exclusive target of the law.”

LOL.
He is a giant disaster.
What a blithering idiot.
That is my prediction too.
When the inevitable social media explosion happens, Trump walks this back.
When someone contracts another person to commit a murder for them (murder fir hire) ... they are are tried as the murderer,
The person who helps (the abortionist}) is the accomplice.
No Republican would suggest that the justice system could take in so many murderers. And no Republic would suggest it anyway.
Sheesh!
And yet it’s odd how pragmatism can come up with answers that are more “conservative” (however we need to ask, conserving what?) than religion.
The modern approach to suicide attempts is more akin to the older approach to abortion. The one who assists in it (except for a few sad modern exceptions) gets in deep criminal dutch. The one who attempts, becomes subject to civil law concerning sanity, at most.
I would think it should rightly be treated as a madness. Theologians could have a deeper insight, a madness caused by an acute loss of love, and as fundamentally illogical as suicide.
They just showed that part of the interview on MSNBC. The anchor said that there was so much talk of it, they’d show that part of it now.
Interesting exchange. I like that Trump got Matthews to say he was Catholic, followed the Church doctrines and believed that abortion was immoral.
IMO Trump could have handled it better and smoother. It’s simple, you outlaw abortion and punish business, staff and doctors. If pressed more about the woman, he could have had Matthews admit the woman is a breaking a law then ask Matthews if people should be punished for breaking a laws.
Wait so a woman who murders her baby should not face punishment like jail time?
Sorry but i think abortion is murder and it should be treated as such in the court of law
Abortion is murder and the last time i checked murder is illegal, abortion should be treated as such in the court of law
Try to stay informed, OK?
I’m a Cruzer. But unlike you - I support Trump and his anti-abortion remarks here.
I’m sorry you think this pro-life position is the “ fringiest of fringey positions”.
But you stating this is surprising. It exposes your true feelings about abortion over all.
Who knew that don-o was pro abortion?
How are we expected to process that many murders in the USA annually?
He’s going to have to back track.
That 5 second sound bite will be this campaigns version of the Nuclear Mushroom cloud. That is ALL the left will hear and he stands NO chance of changing their minds afterwards. Regardless of how many millions in ads and press conferences, call ins to cable shows.
YOu can probably get a 5-10 point swing out of this in Wisconsin this week alone. Every Liberal College Prof. will be regurgitating that 5 second sound bite up through their primary.
But, after Roe, it’s not up to the states. Trump should just have never let himself get into the position of answering that hypothetical question.
Only if she has this done AGAINST her will...If she goes along with it or requests it, she is a willing accomplice.
