Whenever I think he can't get any worse, he does.

Turning red, stammering, fidgety, at a loss for words.
He's not used to being put on the spot and not able to bullshit his way out of it. Mathews wasn't letting him get away with it...kept pressing.
Jeeesh Donald, as if women don't hate your misogynist guts enough already.
You've just stepped in it big time, you asshole.

what took the MSM so looooooooong?

Donald Trump said Wednesday that he wants to ban abortions, and that women who get abortions illegally should be punished.

At a taping of an MSNBC town hall that will air later, host Chris Matthews pressed the Republican presidential front-runner Trump for his thoughts on abortion policy. Trump said he's in favor of an abortion ban, explaining, "Well, you go back to a position like they had where they would perhaps go to illegal places, but we have to ban it," according to a partial transcript from Bloomberg Politics.

Matthews asked if there would be a punishment for women who received abortions if they were made illegal. Trump responded, "There has to be some form of punishment." He elaborated that the punishment would have "to be determined" and the law will depend on the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation battle and the 2016 election.

You see what Hillary opens up.

Hillary: I could compromise on abortion if it included exceptions for mother's health

Trump will have NO Say on women's health issues.

And she said she's willing to compromise.

Compare and contrast:

It just kills more desperate women

It's all about controlling women.

Rich women will have the option they have always had - fly to Europe

for wasting so much good air that should be put to better use by endangered species.

"In other news, A HERETIC I AM suggests 'some form of punishment' for people so stupid as to think he would make a good president"

I think there should be a political literacy test for voters and candidates for a few years until we rid our country of the civil ignorance so rampant today.

"DON'T WORRY, BABY - I HAVE WONDERFUL MAGICAL SPERM! BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL SPERM! SPERM WITH THE YOOOOGEST BRAINS - THEY KNOW WHERE TO GO, AND WHERE NOT TO GO!"

consideration to the fate of his "partners".

Trump was giving a presidential try for the Reform party in 1999.

trying to lead the public. he said there should be some form if punishment in a case where abortion has been outlawed, not as it is today.

abortion will always be legal. roe is not going to be overturned.

more bs from the #nevertrump crowd. clearly the uniparty establishment is trying new memes to get trump out.

same thing we are seeing on the left with the new lies about bernie.

You are defending this?

he has been prochoice for most of his life. pandering is my guess.

but as to the quote, i just wanted to be clear that he is not suggesting we start going to clinics with paddywagons. he said in the event it became illegal, there needs to be punishment. i am not defending that statement but it needs to be understood that he is not suggesting NOW that women be sent to prison. he says enough on his own, the press does not need to embellish.

and what is more, it will never come to be. roe is staying.

I am a woman and I have daughters. I would not personally be willing to risk assuming he "doesn't really mean it."

maybe i have rose glasses on, but i cant see that happening.

And the SCOTUS has helped with that. There is lots they have done and can do.

the state legislatures seem to be the ones making most of these changes.

There's this recent issue: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/anti-abortion-strategy-of-focusing-on-clinics-came-out-of-nowhere_us_56d300bfe4b03260bf772569

But also, issues related to birth control access.

and the states.

the bc thing always gets me. i mean, some people are against abortion, i can see that. but if they REALLY want no more abortions, they should be advocating for free and safe bc for anyone who wants it. then abortions truly could be reserved for emergency circumstances to save someones life. at least for the most part.

stupid stupid people.

but in this case, it does seem to be an effort to sandbag trump

(and yes, it is happening on both sides)

If you actually believe abortion is murder, it is rather weird to do nothing to the woman who arranged for and paid for the "murder".

"Only punish the doctors" comes from the "women aren't real people" side of the conservative movement.

He doesn't have an opinion. He doesn't have a stand. Chris Matthews gets on my last nerve, but I'll give him a lot of credit for not letting Trump maneuver his way out of it. When he got trapped into actually giving an answer he showed his absolute ignorance of what the (admittedly absurd, so I'm enjoying that being pointed out as well) GOP and Right to Life movement's stand on the issue is. His tap-dancing just might run out on him. LORD I hope so.

as he said in a recent debate about another subject

I've never had the feeling that he really wants the JOB of president, but he loves all the attention he's getting campaigning for it.

being arrested. The anti-choice crowd knows this and want women punished, but pretend like that's not what their after.

Just as we were already punished for letting some man talk us into doing something we don't want to do.
