Donald Trump: Don't change abortion laws

Donald Trump clarifies his stance on abortion
In an interview that will air Sunday on "Face the Nation," GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump was asked about his comments earlier this week on abortion. Trump made it clear that his idea of "punishing a woman" for having an abortion was hypothetical, but wouldn't expand on how he would change current abortion laws. John Dickerson has more.
The Republican frontrunner speaks with "Face the Nation" about whether abortion is murder and whether the laws regulating it should be changed
Last Updated Apr 1, 2016 9:27 PM EDT
Update:Trump campaign communications manager Hope Hicks released a statement to CBS News late Friday clarifying the candidate's comments.
"Mr. Trump gave an accurate account of the law as it is today and made clear it must stay that way now --until he is President," Hicks said. "Then he will change the law through his judicial appointments and allow the states to protect the unborn. There is nothing new or different here."
Donald Trump said Friday that he believes the laws regulating abortion should stay as they are, but he doesn't disagree with the proposition that abortion is murder.
The GOP front-runner lit a fresh controversy this week with his shifting responses to a question on abortion policy. He said during an MSNBC town hall on Tuesday that he'd like to see the practice banned, and that women who undergo it should face "some form of punishment." But he quickly backtracked, explaining in a statement that while he believes it should be banned, the punishment should be levied on abortion providers, not the women seeking abortions.
Trump sought to clarify his position during an interview on Friday with "Face the Nation" moderator John Dickerson. The interview will air, in part, on Sunday's broadcast.
