That's not right. They consistently say the doctor should be punished and usually only implicitly state that the woman should be punished too (if at all).
See, that's not true either.
All of them favor punishment for the doctors that carry out abortions.

Not only is it not true, but it's extremely off base. The reason why right is upset with Trump is because they believe women aren't responsible for abortions. They think it's something that's done to them, not something they do. Trump seems to be the only one in his party that considered women moral agents rather than moral patients. The left is getting mad at the wrong people.
thats what the right thinks?
Not all of them. I mean the pro-lifers that bout is talking about, especially the extreme ones on this issue. I stand by the party line until a Republican comes out and disagrees with the hate Trump is getting for his comments.
FWIW Trump already walked it back and doesn't advocate punishing the woman.
Quite honestly I think he is only pro life now to try to suck up to the base so he can get elected. If he actually got to be president I doubt you would ever hear anything about banning abortion.
just like truest words are spoken in jest, truest words are often spoken off the jerking knee. Donny's true position got clobbered, so he lies about it.
In any case, he'll NEVER be President, and is not a shoo in to be the 2016 candidate. At very best, he's a con man, mentally ill (extreme narcissism), and total liar.

Trump stumbles on Supreme Court basics
Politico noted, for example, Trump’s plan for the next high-court justice.
“Well, I’d probably appoint people that would look very seriously at her email disaster because it’s a criminal activity, and I would appoint people that would look very seriously at that to start off with,” Trump said in a phone interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Regardless of whether or not you consider Clinton’s email server management important, Trump’s rhetoric was nonsense. Supreme Court justices are not responsible for evaluating controversies surrounding politicians. It’s just not in their job description – it’s not how the court works. Trump seems to believe jurists on the nation’s highest court play some kind of prosecutorial role, which is a failure of Civics 101.
But to the broader point, it’s important to realize that Trump’s rhetoric about the Supreme Court used to be smarter.
At a debate last month, for example, Trump was asked about the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, and the Republican talked about who he’d nominate if given the opportunity.
“We could have a Diane Sykes or a Bill Pryor, we have some fantastic people,” he said.
Sure, it was a memorized answer, but so what? It was a coherent memorized answer. Sykes and Pryor are right-wing, appeals court judges appointed by the Bush/Cheney administration., and if there were a GOP president right now, these are the kind of folks we’d expect him or her to consider for a Supreme Court vacancy. Trump’s debate answer at least made sense.
But in the weeks that followed, his approach has devolved.
Earlier this month, Trump moved away from his perfectly coherent answer to the Supreme Court question and said he’d leave it to the “Heritage Foundation and others” to help him come up with a short list.
As of yesterday, he’s been reduced to looking for a justice who’ll go after Hillary Clinton.
Is Trump somehow getting worse at this, or is he pretending to be foolish because he thinks that’s what it takes to impress Republican primary voters?

did he say that?
Of course not. Typical Bookaki hysteria.
Eh, it wasn't that big of a flub. The main issue is that he said women should be punished which is ridiculous all on its own.
2016 has coined a new term…Electoral Dysfunction…
The inability to become aroused by any candidate…
Do you try to post the craziest stuff for attention? Saudis nor Iran have any reason for nukes. And their run by religious nutjobs unlike Pakistan which is a functional democratic government with a nuclear enemy neighbor next door. Plus they don't make their women wear bee-hive outfits.
And then walked it back to the abortionist and not the women.
An amateur mistake a polished career politician wouldn't have made.
Personally I thing abortion is a dumb issue to start with but if he is gonna run as a Republican he is gonna have to play that game.
All the numbers spell disaster for Trump: Latest projections portend electoral doom for both the billionaire and Republicans in November
Donald Trump’s dominance has obscured just how unpopular he is outside of the conservative bubble. Even among Republican voters, if you dig a little deeper, you find that Trump has serious problems. Nate Silver elaborates:
“Trump has consistently had the plurality of Republican support in polls, but those same polls suggest that
Trump faces unusually high resistance from voters who don’t have him as their first choice…
Many of them would be unhappy with a Trump nomination, more than is typical for a polling front-runner.”
In short, Trump is extremely popular with his base, but deeply disliked by everyone else. Republican voters who have supported Cruz or Rubio or Kasich will not reliably unite behind Trump in November – that’s a problem for the GOP. Now that Cruz and Kasich are backing away from their pledge to support Trump if he wins the nomination, the landscape is even more challenging.
It’s worse if you extend the analysis to include the broader electorate.
As The Washington Post reports, “If Donald Trump secures the Republican presidential nomination, he would start the general election campaign as the least-popular candidate to represent either party in modern times…
Three-quarters of women view him unfavorably.
So do nearly two-thirds of independents,
80 percent of young adults,
85 percent of Hispanics and
nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.”

I have never seen one poster try to be so wrong about every subject on this board.
he said the woman should be punished, he didn't say anybody else should be
he was asked if women should be punished. he wasn't asked if anybody else should be.
YOU LIE... typical of VLWC leftwingnuts like yourself who will vote for shillary in the generals
He also recanted his statement and said women should not be punished. Instead it should be the physicians if they broke the law. And they should if they break the law. After all, that's what we have laws for right? But Boots is too stupid to understand this.
When someone hires a hitman, are they punished, or does only the hitman get punished?
The moment Trump lost any chance of winning...
There were audible gasps from the pro-Trump audience members, a good portion of which were women.At the end of that whole segment, just before the commercial break, Chris asked him if the guy who had gotten the woman who had an illegal abortion pregnant should also be punished. After hemming and hawing for a few seconds - during which Chris pointed out that ‘some would say the guy had something to do with it’, Trump said simply...
“No.”
False equivalence.
I agree with Trump.
Lmao what the u talking about? If the father was not complicit to the abortion what law did he break?
Trump is 200% right on this one
Murder is murder.
