I think it could be argued that it is consistent with believing abortion should not be legal. In general, doing illegal things carries punishment - ty97 Mar 30, 11:54 7
- That's basically where it is coming from. Bloomberg has an account of the exchange between Trump and Chris Matthews -- (link) - Roger More Mar 30, 11:59 5
  - Yeah, the "if the procedure were outlawed in the U.S." part is a big caveat. -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 12:12 1
    - He's in favour of a ban and in favour of punishment for women who defy the ban, so I don't see that as being a caveat. - Roger More Mar 30, 12:19
  - Thanks. Seems a dumb statement by him, but what do I know, he survives everything else. - ty97 Mar 30, 12:06 2
    - It's an illustration of how poorly thought out his ideas are. He hasn't thought about the issue at all. -- nm - Roger More Mar 30, 12:08 1
      - He's too busy speechifying. Once he gets to the big house, he'll figure all this policy crap out -- nm - decline Mar 30, 12:10
- You can argue ideological consistency all you want, it's still a barbaric idea. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 11:58
