Trump walks back 'punishment' claim for women who get illegal abortions – campaign live

Trump has entirely walked back his comments that “there has to be some form of punishment” for women who undergo abortions if they are outlawed.

Trump just released a statement saying instead that doctors or whomever performs an illegal abortion would be liable for punishment, not the woman undegoing the procedure. “The woman is a victim in this case as is the life in her womb,” said Trump.

Here is his full statement:

If Congress were to pass legislation making abortion illegal and the federal courts upheld this legislation, or any state were permitted to ban abortion under state and federal law, the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman. The woman is a victim in this case as is the life in her womb. My position has not changed - like Ronald Reagan, I am pro-life with exceptions.

There's more .. but apparently someone got to him and reminded him of his 'FALLING' approval polls.....the jackass!
