He used to be "very pro-choice", according to his own interviews. Now he's "pro-life". His competitors have used that reversal to support their claims that he's not really a conservative for months and months. This isn't a new issue for him.
Regarding the abortion issue only, I don't find it unreasonable to change your stance on it because it's one of the very few things I see as a grey area and not black and white. Trump has said that he changed to pro-life personally after speaking to doctors and a friend whose wife was going to have an abortion, but then he also said that he would ban it after a certain point in pregnancy with certain exceptions like rape, but not all together.
So has he come out somewhere and said that he would ban it entirely and I missed it? And in the interview last night when asked if abortion were outlawed were they talking about all abortions or just abortions after a certain point? I didn't hear them go into detail, but I didn't pay full attention.
And it was a stupid question anyway because of course you should face some type of punishment for doing something illegal. Why make it fucking illegal then.
