(CNN)Donald Trump sought to clarify, walk back, then seemingly reverse his position on punishing women who seek abortion procedures -- should they be legally banned -- over the course of a few hours Wednesday.

Trump clarified that the Doctor performing the abortion should be the one punished.
Reasonable answer.
His first instinctive answer was correct. Too bad political correctness won’t let truth stand.
I don’t have a problem with the guy making a mistake, listening to his advisers and correcting course.
Obola would never do that.
Who is for baby killing here? Any baby killers? People who hate baby killing LOVE TRUMP!! Go Trump!!
So changing positions are bad?
Do da name Hillary and Bill mean anything to ya there, CNN?
I was disappointed he walked back his hardline stance, that’s a stance which desperately needs to be accepted by the body politic if we are to end abortion. I’ll give him a little credit for at least testing the waters with the stance, though. That’s way better than Cruz, who immediately resorted to the GOP-e retort.
Cruz slams Trump: We shouldn’t be ‘punishing women’ for abortion
Pro choice Cruz?
The victim is not the woman, it is the child.
It does not matter what he says.
Trump supporters do not care much about abortion.
I guess a lot of people are for killing babies.
Trump phrased his statements — should abortion be made illegal —————then punishment could be applied. After all, it is MURDER!
Can’t punish a woman with a baby.
How many abortions has Hillary had?
There are far too many people who say they are against abortion, but don’t actually want to deter anyone from having an abortion. You have to deter both supply and demand for abortions.
the man has continuously stated that he’s pro-life...everything else is nitpicking and parsing words and that’s fine too.
Trump clarified that the Doctor performing the abortion should be the one punished.
Reasonable answer.

Agree. Unlike other politicians that do nothing but live to pontificate, Trump hasn’t lived his life preparing canned responses to every gotcha question the media can throw at him.
He cleared up his answer and that’s good enough for me.
y’all had not qualms about voting for Romney and he flipped on abortion like a runaway rain barrel..
Go Trump
The 14th Amendment is clear and that all people have equal protection and “people” include people who are alive and life begins at conception.
Therefore, there is no difference between an abortion and the murder of a child. If a mother murders her ten year old child, she goes to prison.
When abortion is made illegal, we must understand that all participants of the abortion are guilty of murder.
The victim is not the woman, it is the child.
Yes! And that seems to be forgotten more often than not.
