Presidential race 2016

[HairOfTheDog]

Trump already backpedaled at least part of his abortion statement. I figured he would. Didn't take long.

Now he's saying if abortions were banned federally or by a state, the doctor who performed the illegal abortion would be held accountable for breaking the law.

Well, no shit Sherlock Trump. Just like when any other medical professional performs an illegal procedure on a patient.

Wasn't that the "no shit Sherlock question" he was asked though? How else would you like him to respond?

First Trump said that women who got illegal abortions would be punished for it -- he said that in the Town Hall last night.

Then, when asked about it today, he flip-flopped and said that women who got illegal abortions wouldn't be punished for it. Instead, he said, the doctors would be (which is nothing new or unique).

I'd expect a presidential candidate to have a solid stance about such a serious issue, whether he was spouting it voluntarily or responding to a request for clarification. He can 'evolve' on the issue of abortion during his life, like he frequently reminds us Ronald Reagan did. Fair enough. But, Ronald Reagan didn't change his views frequently in short periods of time.
