Donald Trump's remarks on abortion during a town hall with MSNBC last week -- where he called for a blanket ban on the procedure, and said there should be "some form of punishment" for women who had abortions thereafter -- drew ire from almost all of America.
All four of his fellow presidential hopefuls, pro-abortion rights activists and pretty much the entire Twitterverse chimed in to express their views on Trump's sexist and archaic views.
The GOP front-runner has seesawed on the divisive issue, proclaiming to be "very pro-choice" in 1999. Following his recent comments to MSNBC, he said that federal abortion laws were set and "we have to leave it that way” -- only for his spokesperson to later clarify that Trump meant the laws would stay in place "until he is president" and that he would "allow the states to protect the unborn."
Are you confused about Trump's stance on abortion? So are we! Watch the video above for a quick rundown.
Editor's note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims -- 1.6 billion members of an entire religion -- from entering the U.S.
