A contender for the US Republican presidential nomination, Donald Trump, advocated punishing women for abortions if they become illegal in the United States.
In an interview with MSBNC, the billionaire said that he supported the ban on abortion, with some exceptions. However, what exactly should be the punishment for women, Trump, he said, has not yet decided.
Several times during the interview, Trump called himself an opponent of abortion (pro-life), although in the past, when he was still a member of the Democratic Party, he was criticized for supporting abortion.
“The answer is that there must be some form of punishment,” Donald Trump said when asked to clarify his position.
At the same time, according to Trump, men should not be punished and be responsible for abortions committed by women.
A press release issued by the Trump campaign after the interview said that "the topic is not obvious" and requires definition.
Many Republicans, including the presidential candidate in the previous elections, Mitt Romney, had previously expressed concern about Trump's scandalous statements and his chances of participating in the elections.
As the polls show, the billionaire is extremely unpopular among women voters, and the potential Democratic rival Hillary Clinton actively criticizes him for speaking about women.
“Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse. Terrifying and revealing,” wrote Clinton on Twitter, commenting on Trump's interview.
“Your Republican favorite, ladies and gentlemen! It’s shameful,” expressed opponent Clinton in the fight for nomination among the Democrats Bernie Sanders.
Abortions were decriminalized in the US in 1973. In recent years, American conservatives have sought to tighten the requirements for clinics conducting abortions, but not to prohibit the operation itself.
