During an interview today, Congressman Tom Reed’s endorsed candidate, Donald Trump, advocated for an abortion ban and “some form of punishment” for women who undergo the procedure if outlawed.
According to an MSNBC report, “Donald Trump believes that there should be punishment for women who undergo abortions if the procedure was outlawed, but indicated he has yet to determine what that punishment should be.”
Asked if men share any responsibility for abortions, “Trump said ‘no’ he didn’t think so.”
“Donald Trump thinks that women should be punished for having an abortion, and Congressman Tom Reed wants this man to be president,” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC. “Not only are Donald Trump’s comments horrific and out-of-touch, but men, women, and families in Western New York and the Southern Tier should be terrified that their Congressman, Tom Reed, is throwing his weight behind Trump’s reckless and dangerous views.”
