I didn't say that changing from pro-choice to pro-life was a problem for me. I said it was fair enough.
I also didn't say that his statement about women having an illegal abortion being punished for it was a problem for me. Regardless of how I feel about it, it's certainly a problem for both Pro-life and Pro-choice advocates however.
What would be a problem for me if I was open to considering Trump is how he made a statement on a very serious key issue on Tuesday night, and then took an exact opposite position on the same issue the next day.
I think it's reasonable for voters to expect that he'd given the issues surrounding abortion and the Pro-life position a lot of serious consideration and been prepared to answer questions about it a long time ago. It's not a new issue and Trump knew his reversal was a subject of criticism by his competitors.
Now, who knows if he really meant what he said Tuesday night, or if he instead really meant what he said Wednesday morning? Not me. But, I'm not considering voting for him anyway.
