Forward this email to a friend March 30, 2016 Tune in to Meet the Press with Chuck Todd, Sundays on NBC News Welcome to The Lid, your afternoon dose of the 2016 ethos… Judging from the amount of derision John Kasich got today after he ate pizza with a fork at a New York pizzeria, we assume that Hillary Clinton will soon make sure to burnish her just-like-you credentials by dropping by a local diner and eating meatloaf with her bare hands. Trump's Abortion Flip-Flop in Context Wed, 30 Mar 2016 21:46:35 GMT From NBC's Andrew Rafferty and Carrie Dann Donald Trump telling MSNBC's Chris Matthews today that there should be punishment for women who undergo abortions if the procedure is outlawed is significant because it breaks from the thinking of even the most vocal members of the anti-abortion rights movement. MTP Daily producer Ed Demaria found both Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum faced similar questions on Meet The Press. " I think you don't punish the woman," Huckabee told Tim Russert in 2007. He added that a woman who receives an abortion should be viewed as "a victim" and "not a criminal." "I've never supported criminalization of abortion for mothers, but I do for people who perform them," Santorum said in 2011. And along with the outrage from Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and liberals, the March for Life issued a blistering statement saying Trump's comment "is completely out of touch with the pro-life movement." Ted Cruz and John Kasich also shot down the notion women should be punished for the procedure. (Trump later issued a full walk back of the statement.)  Click for more.
