Trump: Punish or Don't, Whatever

Hours after … he said he thinks women who have abortions should be punished… Donald Trump has clarified his comments. … “If you say abortion is a crime or abortion is murder, you have to deal with it under the law,” Matthews said. Trump… asked, “Are you going to say, well wait, are you going to say put them in jail? Is that the punishment you’re talking about?” …Ultimately, Trump responded that the “answer is that there has to be some form of punishment, yeah.”
