As always seems to happen on this forum when any non true-believer raises a sincere and serious question, I expect to be blown off as being "racist", or "baby killer", or a "libtard" or "off my meds" just for asking the question, but I can take it so here goes.

My views on abortion are probably known on this forum.  With that caveat, last week Trump said if abortion was made illegal and a woman had an abortion, she should be punished.  Both pro and anti abortion crowds hit the ceiling objecting to his remarks, both sides deploring his remark saying the woman should not be punished.  Being the Donald, he quickly began to walk it back and in so doing has gotten into more hot water by saying he thinks the current abortion statutes should perhaps remain in place.

More than one poster on this forum has called abortion murder.  Do those who feel so agree with Trump's initial statement "the woman should be subject to punishment"?  If not, why not?  If abortion is murder how is a woman who volunteers to have one not an accessory to murder?  Simple question...is there a real answer, simple or otherwise.
