Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a wednesday night. And we begin with the uproar tonight involving donald trump. And what he said about abortion, and whether women who get abortions should be punished if its banned. Trump saying today, in his words, there has to be some form of punishment. When asked for the woman, the answer, yes, there has to be some form. But late today, trump issuing a new statement, what appears to be a complete reversal now. This evening, his republican opponents pouncing, and Hillary Clinton saying, quote, just when you thought it couldnt get worse. Abcs Jonathan Karl with the video, what trump originally said, and then his statement just hours later. Reporter today in wisconsin, donald trump staked out a hard new line on abortion. At an msnbc forum, he was asked if women who get abortions should be punished if its made illegal. He said this do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no, as a principle . The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment. For the woman . Yeah, there has to be some form. Ten cents, ten years, what . I dont know. That i dont know. That i dont know. Well, why not . I dont know. Because you take positions on everything else. Frankly i do take positions on everything else. Its a very complicated position. Reporter asked if there should be punishment for the man involved, trump said no. Hillary clinton responded immediately, tweeting, just when you thought it couldnt get worse. Horrific and telling. Reporter trumps republican rivals, both of whom oppose abortion rights, today rejected the idea of punishing women who have abortions. And tonight, just three hours after his controversial statements, trump reversed himself completely, saying, if abortion is banned, quote, the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman. The woman is a victim. Trumps comments come on a day he is firmly defending his campaign manager, corey lewandowski, charged yesterday with battery, after this security video appeared to show him grabbing this female reporter. Trump today openly mocked the reporter. This young woman reporter, who shouldnt have been where she was, and she grabbed me twice. She said, i was jolted backwards. She wasnt, right . Did anyone disagree . Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. Did she go down . Did she even go a little down, like, a little, like a couple of inches . Reporter but on gma, trump took his criticism beyond the reporter, slamming the jupiter, florida, Police Department that charged lewandowski. Do you think jupiter, florida, police made the wrong call here . Absolutely. I think they made a wrong call. I think its an embarrassment. Donald j. Trump for president , folks dont forget to vote reporter the controversy seems to be do nothing to diminish the enthusiasm of trumps supporters. Here in appleton, wisconsin, people have been waiting some of them for hours, this line extending for several blocks. People waiting to get in to see donald trump. And now, as powerful republicans try to stop trump here in wisconsin, the frontrunner is saying he may abandon the party if he loses the nomination. Do you continue to pledge whoever the republican nominee is . No, i dont anymore. Look you dont . No. Well see who it is. Reporter trumps rivals seem to be abandoning the pledge, too. Ohio Governor John Kasich and senator ted cruz both say they may not support trump if he wins the nomination. And jon karl with us live from wisconsin tonight. And jon, this new abortion controversy comes just before the key wisconsin primary, of course. I wanted to show everyone at home the new numbers tonight. Ted cruz in the lead in wisconsin. Donald trump trailing by ten points. A crucial state. And jon, trumps opponents pouncing and quickly on his comments today. Reporter yeah, and wisconsins one of the biggest states left to vote. Its also a state where the winner gets most, if not all of the delegates. So, a loss here for donald trump in wisconsin would make it much harder for him to get the delegates he needs to clinch the nomination before the convention this summer, david.

In fact, that toyota prius, equipped with l. E. D. S, is the only car tested that earned a good rating. While the bmw 3 with halogen lights tested at the bottom, another bmw 3 equipped with a swivel l. E. D. System tested in the top third. The best tip .
