“Donald Trump’s belief that women should be punished for undergoing abortions is truly mind-boggling, and provides the latest example of the reelection trouble that Trump will continue to cause for Republicans down-ballot. Republican incumbents and candidates are accountable for their party’s frontrunner, and if they have any decency, they will denounce Trump’s backwards and barbaric position on women’s rights,” said Meredith Kelly of the DCCC.

The Trump-Guinta Party Strikes Again – This Time Against Women
DCCC launches online ad campaign challenging Guinta on Trump’s shocking abortion comments
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump recently commented that women should be punished for having an abortion, a shocking position that even most anti-choice activists find extreme.
Remember that just this week, Congressman Frank Guinta told NHPR that Trump “is a good thing for the country,” and that he would support Trump if he is the nominee
So given that Guinta has indicated he will endorse the ultimate nominee, he must immediately denounce Trump’s wildly barbaric statement on abortion, if he has any respect for the women in his district. The DCCC is launching an online ad campaign targeting Granite State women and millennials asking a very simple question of Guinta: do you agree with Trump’s statement?
“Donald Trump’s belief that women should be punished for undergoing abortions is truly mind-boggling, and provides the latest example of the reelection trouble that Trump will continue to cause for Republicans down-ballot. Congressman Frank Guinta is likely going to share the ballot in November with Donald Trump and as the Republican standard-bearer, we assume Trump speaks for Guinta and his Party,” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC. “If Guinta remains silent on this blatant attack on women’s reproductive health, it is clear he agrees with Trump that women should be punished for exercising their right to choose.”
