This is what I've been saying for a long time. Conservatives have no credibility!

(since just about everyone in the GOP decried Trump's answer)

I'm beginning to wonder if he's purposely doing everything possible to keep from being elected. I'm not sure there's another explanation.

Trump Advocates Abortion Ban, 'Some Form of Punishment' for Women - NBC News

If a woman goes to get an illegal abortion, it is illegal, meaning against the law....
therefore, she absolutely should be held accountable, along with the doctor.

But abortions are not illegal, it was a hypothetical question, so that the media, only played back a part of it, to obviously, make it sound like Trump was going to make abortions illegal and if a woman goes to get an abortion then she should be punished....and quit frankly
what in the world has happened to our country,, if it WERE ILLEGAL, then of course the woman should be held accountable?

See, this is what has happened, everyone feels that laws do not apply to them?
