Donald J Trump recently was recently under fire for comments he made about abortion. The problem here is that his initial response was right.
First off, Chris Matthews (i think it was) asked him a bad question. Why would any non-idiot even talk to MSNBC liberals anyway? Why? Abortion is a state issue not a federal issue (and not a court issue - to make a bad politically biased ruling on. Courts are not supposed to legislate).
So, Donald Trump was asked if he were president should people seeking abortion be held accountable. Then he was asked what kind of penalty he would give. He wouldn't be in the position to dole out penalties, this is a state not federal level issue. i don't see where the faux outrage comes from.
Yes, if abortion were illegal women who seek it should be held accountable legally. This is akin to someone hiring a hitman to kill a fetus.
i am not pro-life, pro-abortion. i am pro responsibility. If people engage in sexual activity, there is an inherent risk of pregnancy (which can be largely mitigated but not eliminated). i'll say life begins at implantation (so the "morning after pill" is not abortion). i allow for no exception for rape/incest and the like (those are outliers) - it is my understanding that the Rowe vs Wade person lied about being raped anyway. The only possible exception i see would be a medical necessity to save the mother's life.
i'm not saying all women are duplicitous liars who will say and do anything to avoid responsibility for their own actions, but i not saying they aren't either.
