Are women actual people……or just objects to Donald Trump?
Bottom line – For the women?
MATTHEWS: “Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no as a principle”?
TRUMP: “The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment”.
MATTHEWS: “For the woman”?
TRUMP: “Yes, there has to be some form”.
And for the men?
MATTHEWS: “What about the guy that gets her pregnant? Is he responsible under the law for these abortions? Or is he not responsible for an abortion”?
TRUMP: “Well, it hasn’t — it hasn’t — different feelings, different people. I would say no”.
Now tell me again there is no Republican War On Women……
————————————-
After his campaign relaized what he’d said, they released a statement saying Trump meant to ‘punish doctors’ who preformed abortions.
But that’s not what Trump said……
MATTHEWS: “Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no as a principle”?
TRUMP: “The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment”.
MATTHEWS: “For the woman”?
TRUMP: “Yes, there has to be some form”.
MATTHEWS: “Ten cents? Ten years? What”?
TRUMP: “Let me just tell you — I don’t know. That I don’t know. That I don’t know”.
MATTHEWS: “Why not”?
TRUMP: “I don’t know”.
MATTHEWS: “You take positions on everything else”.
TRUMP: “Because I don’t want to — I frankly, I do take positions on everything else. It’s a very complicated position”.
MATTHEWS: “I’m asking you, what should a woman face if she chooses to have an abortion”?
TRUMP: “I’m not going to do that”.
MATTHEWS: “Why not”?
TRUMP: “I’m not going to play that game”.
MATTHEWS: “Game”?
MATTHEWS: “I’m asking you. You want to be president of the United States”.
TRUMP: “ou told me that…”
MATTHEWS: “You tell me what the law should be”.
TRUMP: “I have — I have not determined…”
MATTHEWS: “Just tell me what the law should be. You say you’re pro-life”.
TRUMP: “I am pro-life”.
MATTHEWS: “A fine, imprisonment for a young woman who finds herself pregnant”?
TRUMP: “It will have to be determined”.
MATTHEWS: “What about the guy that gets her pregnant? Is he responsible under the law for these abortions? Or is he not responsible for an abortion”?
TRUMP: “Well, it hasn’t — it hasn’t — different feelings, different people. I would say no”.
