Trump Jr. Defends Dad on Abortion: ‘Shouldn’t There Be Consequences for Breaking Laws?’

Donald Trump talked about “punishment” for women who have abortions today, and one of his sons was quick to defend him.

Even though many pro-lifers would say they would want to punish abortion providers, not the women, Donald Trump Jr. argued that what his dad said makes sense and people are taking him out of context:

Thank you Katy you're the only one that included the question which was if it was ILLEGAL should there be punishment https://t.co/XXrGvXMHjw

No not a hearing problem but the full context doesn't make for the salacious sound byte they are all looking for! https://t.co/RXQqB9vkY7

Be fair, was asked if it was ILLEGAL should there be punishment. Shouldn't there be consequences for breaking laws? https://t.co/FcR0IReRM5
