Kasich: ‘Of Course Women Should Not Be Punished’ for Abortion

‘I don’t think that’s an appropriate response and it’s a difficult enough situation than to try to punish somebody’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TODD: “Chris Matthews asked Donald Trump should there be some form of punishment for women who have an abortion? And Trump says yeah, I think there should be a punishment. He didn't describe what that punishment is. I know you're somebody who believes abortion should be banned. should women who get abortions be punished?”
KASICH: “Absolutely not. I do have exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother, but abortions shouldn't be punished. I’m sure Donald Trump will say he didn't say it or he was misquoted or whatever, but I don't think so. I don't think that's an appropriate response and it's a difficult enough situation than to try to punish somebody.”
