(Communities Digital News)
"Donald Trump is single-handedly reviving the so-called Republican War on Women.
In an MSNBC Townhall with Chris Matthews on Wednesday, Trump was asked a hypothetical: if abortion becomes illegal should women be punished for having abortions? Trump’s off-the-cuff logic: if it’s illegal, it should be punished.
Of course, he received tremendous backlash (go figure), and on Thursday flip-flopped to the view that the abortionists should be punished. Then on Friday, he flip-flopped again saying that the laws on abortion should not be changed.
Why anyone expected a cogent pro-life treatise from a man who was unabashedly pro-choice until 2011, and still defends Planned Parenthood as an organization that only does good things for women’s health is beyond comprehension.
