Are you chastising Trump's response from a political vantage point, or from a prolife one?

If political, conventional wisdom says you are correct, why give them the soundbite of your lack of pre-thinking?

If prolife, his answer appeared to be honest, with an honest uncertainty about the righteousness of punishing the woman.

I stand every day outside an abort mill with 2 tough, committed guys. All 3 of us liked
what he said to Matthews (one is a Cruz supporter), and thought Cruz's answer was
political-speak. Now, we didn't like the walk-back, which strikes us as his kow-towing to
his advisors. But the interview itself showed a guy unafraid to speak honestly. Were
Matthews the Magnificent to walk anywhere in America asking the same question, he
would find 99.9% of the people (non-Liberal) would have mixed feelings on this as well.

We discussed the true possibility that he would gain many Christian women who had
been put off by him, who would now see him as genuinely finding his way to prolife,
perhaps offsetting those upset by the answer.

It was a loser comment from the political vantage point and from the pro-life one.
The hailstorm from both camps is directed at Trump and The Pro-Life movement is being accused that punishing women is their platform.
I said in a previous thread when this first started that tomorrow’s news would be: Trump wants to punish women.
That has indeed happened.
Unfortunately now it is : Pro-lifers want to punish women.
That has never been the case.
