I guess the first question I would have would be if he really said this. If he did...oh boy.
He means illegal abortions if they are banned. The way it was before the 1970s when it was legalized
I can see it being spun two ways.
1) He wants to ban abortion and punish women if they get one
2) If someone was to ban abortions you’d need to punish women to make it work, but he’s not advocating a ban
I don’t think this is an “oh boy” moment. If someone breaks the law there should be a punishment otherwise we have anarchy.
