Trump back-tracks on "punishment" for women getting an abortion.

Did Chris Matthews ask if sex should be banned?

Of course not, why should sex be banned? if one is married?

You would have to ask the poster that asserted as much.

Good luck with that

Donald Trump's 'evolving' stance on abortion

While I personally disagree with his pro-life position, I do understand from this clip why he changed his mind from pro-choice. I also don't see this as a "gotcha" question from the media as much as I dislike their blatant bias. On the other hand, I agreed with Trumps first answer and I think he's wrong to step back on punishing someone for an illegal action because they happen to be a woman. I don't agree with it.

Also, at the end of this clip, Trump talks about /how/ abortion would be banned. He did not specifically say he would ban it, but he would clearly support such a ban. Therefore I believe it is perfectly acceptable to discuss this "hypothetical."

For the record, this matter doesn't actually sway my vote that much - I'm used to having to cede on a number of what I personally consider to be "religiously biased" issues. For me it is always a matter of what's more important for the country at the time. This time around national safety and the economy are the key issues so I am willing to deal with a pro-life leaning candidate.
