I don’t think you listened closely enough to Trump. He actually said that he would defund Planned Parenthood if they did NOT stop doing abortions.
He said that if they do STOP abortions, then they do other helpful things for women.
However, in the case of the ‘punishment for illegal abortion’, He was specifically asked if there should be punishment if abortion were illegal.
He said ‘yes’. If it’s illegal, then there should be some kind of punishment.
If it becomes illegal in your town to mow your lawn between midnight and 5am, should there be some kind of punishment for violating that?
This has been a gotcha tactic of the left for a long time. They want to make the candidate say they would actually punish a woman for doing something illegal. well yeah ... if it is illegal then there must be punishment, right?
I may not like Trump but I do salute him for his courage in standing against this sort of political correctness and emotional thinking.
So Where does he stand again? :)
Hint: It is where his handlers tell him to stand at that particular moment. This is why they have to repeatedly release "Clarification of Policy" statements after the idiot is left to answer any questions with out a pre screened question list being provided to his campaign.
