Trump’s Stance on Abortion Destroys His Campaign

Written by on April 1, 2016

 

Donald Trump’s campaign took a turn for the worse when the presidential candidate expressed his thoughts on abortion during a television interview with MSNBC. The groundbreaking dialogue was as follows:

“Do you believe in punishment for abortion – yes or no – as a principle?”

“The answer is there has to be some form of punishment.”

“For the woman?”

“Yeah, there has to be some form.”

“Ten cents, 10 years, what?”

“That I don’t know.”

Trump’s remarks created such an uproar that he immediately attempted to retract his statement, and clarify his position, later iterating that the medical personnel, and not the woman, should be penalized for executing the procedure. However, the damage was already done. Women everywhere were already appalled and taken aback by Trump’s remarks. Asking themselves, was this the same man that was pro-choice before this election? It was clear that Trump was unprepared for this interview.

Democratic candidate, Hilary Clinton, took the opportunity to push her platform by blasting Trump for being anti-women’s rights, and unfit to be president.

Trump’s popularity among voters has been a result of his flamboyant and controversial comments and speeches throughout his campaign trail. Which leaves you to wonder, was this just another one of his cries for attention?
