I don’t think this is an “oh boy” moment. If someone breaks the law there should be a punishment otherwise we have anarchy.

Suicide is self harm , for example if you chop your fingers off with a knife thats not a crime, if you chop somebody else fingers that’s a crime

You kill a unborn baby thats murder

“How does Cruz respond to this?”

Kind of puts Cruz in a tricky spot.

And the women were correct to point out to men that they shouldn’t be so flippant until it becomes biologically possible for them to carry a pregnancy to term too.

If FR becomes about zotting 18-year posters in favor of delusional supporters of The Rump, then parting ways will be for the best for both of us.

It could well come to that. I have laid low for a couple of weeks. But, this world class idiocy from Trump brought me out.

[fooman]

you dont have to wait.

The radio news outlets on Hannity’s show are already BLARING

the PUNISH PUNISH PUNISH meme.

You are like the pigeon who knocks the chess pieces over on the board and claims a victory.

You are the one losing arguments here. I am not. My arguments are based on truth.

[AmericaUnited]

No I’m sorry, having an unthinking twit as President of the United States who talks/does first, and thinks later, is mindbogglingly scary.

Hes honest that’s what i like about him, he is 100% right that abortion should be illegal and should carry a jail sentence.

So why did his campaign just do a back flip with their clarification?

Was he being honest originally or now? Which one is the calculating Political Lie?

[mabelkitty]

I really don’t have any trouble understanding him at all.
I don’t watch television, though, so that might be why.

[outpostinmass2]

If it is against the law wouldn’t the lawbreaker require punishment?

[The Right wing Infidel]

Yeah buhu the poor woman victim deicide to go a doctor to have her baby murdered, YES somehow the woman who made the decision to have her baby murdered is the victim ?

Thats not pro life, thats pro abortion

[HiTech RedNeck]

You maimed, goes the pseudo-conservative logic. You suffer the penalty for mayhem, goes the pseudo-conservative logic.

Before 1973 abortion was outlawed in this country in many states and it was against the law to kill your baby, for the woman and doctor. Congratulations to Donald Trump for sticking up for the unborn. Democrats hate to hear the truth. RINOs hate to hear the truth and democrat Kasich has already weighed in and said it was crazy to say women should be punished for killing their children. Should be interesting to see lying Ted Cruz and how he weighs in on this. “Pro-life” Cruz will certainly find some way for bashing Trump for standing up for common sense on abortion and wanting women and doctors to be charged if abortion is ever made illegal again. I would suspect “pro-life” Cruz will say something like “Once again Donald is lying and yes he’s wrong. Abortion is wrong, but you certainly can’t punish women for having one, they need to be treated with dignity, and my God tells me to forgive those that I disgree with”. He’ll then go on to say “But let me remind you Donald Trump is a liar, he’s all for funding PP and has been all his life and Margaret Sanger is a great hero of his, and before you go and vote just remember what I said, Donald Trump is a liar. And just so you don’t forget Donald Trump is a liar.”

[Jay Thomas]

I know. That’s my point. If the majority thinks it’s OK, then what?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Your mockery against all compassion makes a lie out of the claim of anyone to care about the life of the unborn.

[blowfish]

Trump’s brain and mouth are only casually acquainted.

[marstegreg]

I totally agree. I am a woman and I agree with Donald. Breaking the law should carry a punishment.

[winoneforthegipper]

Dude, really?

This might just have been his most masterful masterstroke.

Watch.

Just to be clear - you said that a mother who murders her child is a victim.

Just to be clear, I specifically said: "In many ways, she's also a victim. There will be mitigating circumstances for her."

Have you ever spent any time working with or talking to women who were considering abortion? Based on your statement, I'm guessing not. In many cases, they are being coerced or suffering extreme mental or physical duress. In almost every case, they suffer long-term mental and physical after-effects from the abortion.

But hey, if wanting to outlaw abortion, and still wishing to take care of the mother as well as the baby makes me "pro-abortion" in your mind, then I don't know what to tell you.
