Nobody claimed that leaving a preposition out of a sentence constitutes a "flip flop" or "reversal" of sentiment.
Donald Trump himself has now stated that he based his Town Hall response on outdated information. After he was informed of the actual Pro-Life position which has been advocated for the last several years, he reversed his position on the punishment point. He no longer thinks that the woman should be punished for committing a crime if abortion is illegal. He now thinks that the woman should not be punished because she's a victim of a crime. He's issued a formal statement clarifying his current position on that point. Done deal.
It's some seriously stubborn silliness to attempt to redefine 'reversal' to defend a reversal. So is claiming that expressing an either/or opinion and not deviating from it, or leaving a word out of a sentence, is synonymous with a reversal.
Yep, you're pulling a full Gunnar on this one.
