I think Trump has to find the crest of the wave and ride it. That seems to me what Obama did in 2008 and 2012. In the case of abortion, I wonder if the correct position might be “let’s change society such that we do not castigate women having a baby out of wedlock.” The only problem with that answer would be that single mothers are the demographic most dependent on welfare. Helicopter money would seem to fix this problem, but that is of course another issue.
I agree with trump. So sick of you pro choice people. My gosh it doesn’t make sense that we want to throw illegal aliens but baby killers are not punished. That is ass backwards. I am ashamed of the pro choice FREEPERS.
I keep coming back to a GOPe Globalist image for him.
I agreed with every word. You pro choice baby killers are rediculous. You want to jail cocain buyers. You want to jail illegal aliens, you want to jail people for illegal things people do. If abortion is illegal, jail the baby killers for Gods sake. This is making me sick so many liberals are Cruz supporters.
Another abortion lover. You guys are sure showing yourself today. So you finally admit that you support baby killers. Great. Just great.
And lay off the booze too.
In the real world voters aren’t voting for trump? You can’t be that stupid. Trump has a huge amount of voters then Cruz. But since Cruz and a bunch of you are baby killer lovers now perhaps the numbers will go up. It is shameful that you don’t care about babies.
You lay off supporting murdering babies first.
I honestly, 100% do not get what was supposedly so bad about what Trump said.
So true. I had been trying to take a break from this, but after reading the thread title, and with so much going on, I invested the time. Trump's instincts were right and I thought the whole Town Hall went fine. If one is pro-Life, and abortion is made illegal (too weird to write if life is made legal), then of course some kind of responsibility is going to fall upon those who break the law.
What came to me as I watched the exchange was this. We already have pregnant mothers called to account for what they do with their bodies when they take drugs illegally and get caught. They often are charged with child endangerment (at least in my part of the country), put into a testing program, and often lose parental rights to their child if they continue to use. Those are direct actions against what a woman chooses to do with her body when what she chooses is illegal and endangers a child, even an unborn one. That is as of today, that is not theoretical.
I guess I have to go see how far Trump walked back his comments, but I don't think he needed to budge. Consequence is a reasonable pro-Life position if we were to ever actually have the recognition of every human life protected under the Constitution.
What's happened to Free Republic?
You and I used to have great and friendly conversations.
And it's not just you....or me.
I do think you are awesome. I am confused about this trump bashing. What did he do wrong?
Trump did walk it back but the drive-bys will use this against Trump from now until election time.
Can’t People READ. The question was about “ILLEGAL ABORTIONS”
What is an ILLEGAL ABORTION
an abortion performed contrary to the laws regulating abortion. Illegal abortions are often associated with life-threatening complications.
True words
>>> I WANT IMPERFECTION. THAT IS PROOF THAT THEY ARE NOT POLITICIANS.
Politicians want you to believe that they don’t make mistakes. However, what they possess is “message discipline”, which means they learn to tell you the same lie, time and again, with a straight face, even as the circumstances on the ground change.
And I agree, that is what I like about Trump... he converses with the audience (which means his words are often subject to retraction), rather than the “right” words from the politicians’ mouth that are never followed up with matching action.
As predicted, I just caught the 9pm news (Central Time), and:
Kasich bemoans that Trump is not presidential because of his comments on Birth Control
Hildabeast attacks Trump on his stance
Cruz says he is not Presidential either
Even Bernie takes a swipe at all the Republicans...
I guess Chris Matthews hit one over the fence for the Democrats, because as sure as shootin, Kasich and Cruz did NOTHING for the Republicans, and Hilda and Bernie have shown that they are clowns.
Surprisingly, Trump clarifies his words, without being talked over, and being screeched at, and moved on. Before you say that a President should be able to handle this, remember, it is not tolerated for anyone to speak to Obama like this, When it comes to touching Obama, nobody gets close, yet nobody questions it. So what is Presidential about Matthews going at Trump?
You say that if it was Cruz, he would not flinch, yet, He folded like a cheap suit when being interviewed by Wallace. http://dailycaller.com/2016/01/31/watch-ted-cruz-get-flustered-when-chris-wallace-fact-checks-him-video/
Or here about being interviewed about dirty tricks

I have not seen you self righteous people talking about that, now, I wonder why that is???
bfl
Those leftist media will destroy any republican from out biggest RINO to our most conservative Republican. Meanwhile Hillary and Obama mostly get away scot free. Obama always and Hillary gets some only cuz Bernie is in the race otherwise nothing.
I'm going to take JimRob's advice and just play it cool.
But, be advised, the enemy media is your foe, not me.
They will play Trumps's abortion faux pas over and over and over again, leading many people to believe Trump wants to put women in jail for having abortions.
It's how the mainstream, democratic media works.
It sucks.
