What Trump said initially was logical. If in the future abortion is a crime, of course there has to be some form of punishment.
I agree. If a law doesn’t have consequences, is it law? I am deeply saddened by official pro-life movements jumping out of the frying pan when the heat got turned on. But the assumption by the media that punishment meant jail time was equally ridiculous.
We need a conversation about how to make abortion not just illegal but also unthinkable. How do we turn our culture back to the sanctity of life?
Trump was correct in his comment but he screwed up by answering a hypothetical question in the first place. Maybe this is a good thing, he will learn to steer clear of these questions.
As for Pro life movement, they HATE Trump. They are a single issue organization. They will only vote for a candidate that swears he will repeal abortion, even if said candidate will have no chance of winning.
Instead they could support the very viable Trump, hold their nose and let him move the ball back in the right direction, propelling us toward a friendlier supreme court which might eventually fulfill their goals!
