Trump said, “The laws are set now on abortion and that’s the way they’re going to remain until they’re changed”.

The abortion flap erupted as Trump campaigned in Wisconsin ahead of the state’s critical primary on Tuesday.
“I think the bigger issue is the economy”, Tarantino said, adding that today many women are the breadwinners for their families. “The laws are set”.
Donald Trump says that, if his campaign wins the Wisconsin primary election on Tuesday, he thinks “it’s over”.
The Republican race is overshadowed by a persistent effort by Trump’s rivals in the campaign and the party to force the nomination fight into the July convention – and by his equivocations on whether he will be loyal to the GOP or bolt for an independent candidacy if he feels mistreated. The full interview will air Sunday morning.
When he had everyone’s attention, he asked them to pay attention to the tune coming through speakers: “I happen to like this song ‘Sorry, ‘ by Justin Bieber”. And it was asked in a very hypothetical. “And it was said, ‘Illegal, illegal, ‘” Trump explained. “And it was said, ‘Illegal, illegal.’ I’ve been told by some people that was an older line answer and that was an answer that was given on a, you know, basis of an older line from years ago on a very conservative basis”.
Donald Trump now says abortion laws should not be changed.
Trump’s string of controversies around women – from his Twitter insults of Heidi Cruz’s looks to his comments about abortion – have alienated female voters and sent the intensity of the one-third of the GOP that is dead set on stopping Trump soaring to match the one-third that is with him no matter what, Goeas said.
During a campaign event in Racine on Saturday, Mr. Trump said his comments on “Face the Nation” were taken out of context, alleging that CBS “took words out that I said”. “You need to be able to get it right the first time”, Kasich said.
However, the Republican front runner repeated his view that “abortion is murder”.
Trump: I mean, I do have my opinions on it. I just don’t think it’s an appropriate forum.
“But you don’t disagree with that proposition?”
Trump’s bungled response – an awkward, extended attempt to evade the question, followed by an answer that, yes, “there has to be some form of punishment” – prompted a backlash that managed to unite abortion rights activists and opponents.
After Friday’s comments, Trump’s campaign released a statement clarifying his comments. “Then he will change the law through his judicial appointments and allow the states to protect the unborn”, she said. “There is nothing new or different here”.
Speaking to MSNBC on Wednesday, the Republican Presidential frontrunner said he supports criminal punishments for women who have abortions. A plan to punish women who seek abortion in this country is not news, it’s actually the Republican Party platform. “That requires you to change your role as all this comes together”, Gingrich said.
Hillary Clinton recently described Trump as “an id with hair”, but he would not respond in kind. He faced a backlash for comments about rival Ted Cruz’s wife and managed to displease both sides in the abortion debate with his now-retracted comment that women who get abortions should be punished.

Another Cruz supporter, Debbie Bennett, of Lee’s Summit, Mo., says the way Trump talks about women is unpresidential. Dickerson pressed the issue until finally Trump said “I don’t disagree” with the statement that abortion is murder.
