Trump’s remarks on abortion draws strong reactions

Author: Agencies

Donald Trump usually hesitates talking about the topic of abortion during his presidential campaign, since, when he has done so, there has been stormy reaction.

Back in March, in an interview with MSNBC, Trump said women should face “some sort of punishment” if they had an abortion in the event the practice was outlawed. Anti-abortion leaders swiftly repudiated him, and he soon backtracked, saying doctors should be punished, but not the women getting abortions.

Last week, in the third and final presidential debate, Trump ignited another firestorm as he sought to undercut Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent, for her strong support for abortion rights. He said a baby could be aborted soon before birth. This time, doctors and abortion-rights supporters said that scenario evoked by Trump doesn’t happen.
