In reply to the discussion: "NO": The Second Part of Trump's Answer That Got Audible Gasps From the Audience [View all]Jim Lane

"I assume the cabbie could be found guilty of knowingly driving a woman to a clinic for an abortion." What if she gives him an address that he recognizes as Planned Parenthood -- is that enough for a conviction? She might just be going for a mammogram.
