ORIGINAL: Greta75 quote:
If you say abortion is a crime or abortion is murder, you have to deal with it under the law. Should abortion be punished? There ya go. His practically leading him that if abortion is illegal, there has to be punishment. His trapping trump that's all. quote:
TRUMP: I would say that it’s a very serious problem and it’s a problem that we have to decide on. It’s very hard – MATTHEWS: But you’re for banning it. TRUMP: Are you going to say, well wait, are you going to say put them in jail? Is that the punishment you’re talking about? At this point, from this statement, you can clearly see Trump is appalled by the idea that women goes to jail for abortion. quote:
TRUMP: You know you’ll go back to a position like where they had where people perhaps will go to illegal places. It's so obvious from here Trump is flustered because his 100% pro planned parenthood and pro-abortion but his running out of ideas on how to claim his anti-abortion. And his thinking his true thoughts that banning abortion is a damn bad idea, but he has to stick to it, as his running as a republican. I'm convinced more than ever by this interview Trump is pro-abortion. Whatever your position is on voluntary termination of pregnancy, do you really understand Donald Trump's position? Why would that matter? Well he is running for office after all. What do people then vote for, if the Trumpster says several different things in his campaign about abortion? Do they do what you do and just guess, or do they have to take the last thing he said as his policy? It's all very well wanting to stick your finger up at political orthodoxy, but good democracy depends on a couple of conventions, like knowing what you are voting for, and not advocating violence against your opponents. I know that he is presented as a political rebel and a "breath of fresh air", come to shake up the establishment, but he doesn't know his own mind, doesn't mind people being "roughed up" at his rallies and can't even run a decent business. I'm struggling to see what you like so much about him. He is an unaccountable alpha male, with a penchant for violence, who never has to deal with the consequences of his own actions. Is that the attraction? And back to the OP. Is it just that he doesn't know what he thinks about abortion? Perhaps the problem is it that he will change his opinions at the drop of a hat to cosy up to the right pressure groups. Alternatively maybe he just can't cope with the pressure of being asked a straight question? So he's not exactly a man of principle, who is calm under pressure. Maybe the US doesn't need those qualities in a President.
