Then they cut that question out of the video and every headline on the net reads "Trump Wants To Punish All Women For Having Abortions!" So I think he was probably ill-advised to change his position from punishing the women to punishing the doctors instead, but who knows.
I don't recall ever saying I was considering voting for him either except the time that I was obviously joking that I'd vote for him just for shits and giggles.
I know that he reversed his position sally. I watched the Town Hall and then I watched a video of the Matthews interview.
Town Hall: if abortion was made illegal, there would have to be some form of punishment for women who got abortions. That's what Trump said Tuesday night.
Matthews interview (after getting slammed for contradicting the Pro-life position): If abortion was made illegal, women who got abortions anyway should not be punished. That's what Trump said Wednesday.
That's a reversal or full flip flop, regardless of any headlines or video clip editing.
I think it's reasonable for people considering voting for Trump, especially those who have strong feelings on the issue, to wonder how he really feels about it now. I'm not one of those people, and I know you don't vote.
