A 2016 clip of Donald Trump saying that "some form of punishment" should befall women who choose to get an abortion has resurfaced after a draft opinion hinting at the overturning of the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade was leaked and published by Politico.
Insider has not independently verified or obtained the apparent draft.
Link to tweet
Chris Matthews, then with MSNBC, pressed then-candidate Trump on his position on abortions during a March 2016 Town Hall and asked if there should be punishments for undergoing the procedure.
"The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment."

OP
Honestly, that's the logically consistent position if you're anti-abortion.

If you really believe abortion is murder, then having one should be a serious crime.
Now why don't anti-abortion activists want that? Probably because (1) they think it would be politically unpopular, and (2) they have a patronizing, condescending view of women, who they view as duped victims of evil abortion providers.
