To the editor:
Trump stated that if abortion is illegal then women getting an abortion will have to face a punishment.
This was the “politically incorrect” answer but is the logical answer. If a person violates a law, without a punishment, the law will be ignored. Trump was just not familiar with the artful response created by the anti-abortion lobby. Trump later changed his position to the acceptable response that the person performing the abortion will be punished, not the woman.
This structured response is an attempt to make abortion illegal and still get women to vote for the ban and those who support the ban.
