Just the same. No difference.

NEW Trump to @msnbc: "there has to be some form of punishment" for women who have abortions but he has yet to determine what that should be.

While an exceptionally perverse form of infighting during this political season will continue as long as there's money to be made from it, we would do well to remind ourselves that it is the Democratic party that stands with women in their struggle to retain control over their own bodies.

The ante just got raised.

4. Here's his exchange with Matthews-

Mar 2016
“There has to be some form of punishment,” the GOP presidential front-runner told MSNBC's Chris Matthews during a combative interview.

Matthews had asked Trump whether he would seek to ban abortion and how he would enforce such a policy.

“The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment,” Trump said in the interview taped for a town hall forum airing later Wednesday.
“For the woman?” Matthews asked.

“Yeah, there has to be some form,” Trump responded.

Matthews pressed Trump repeatedly on abortion and to clarify his own stance.

“Should abortion be punished? This is not something you can dodge,” he asked Trump.

“Well, people in certain parts of the Republican Party, conservative Republicans, would say, ‘Yes, they should be punished,’ ” Trump responded.

Asked what a ban on abortion would entail, Trump said: “Well you know you’ll go back to a position like they had, where people will perhaps go to illegal places, but you have to ban it.”

He wants to ban LEGAL abortion and send women back to the alleys. I won't be surprised if he started selling metal clothes hangers since they are in such short supply these days.
