MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A comment by Donald Trump about abortion has sparked criticism from his rivals in both parties and from advocates for and against abortion. In an MSNBC interview, Trump said that if abortion became illegal, women who receive them should receive "some form of punishment." He later took back the comment, saying such women are victims and that providers should be punished. Ted Cruz says Trump hasn't thought issues through. Hillary Clinton called the comment "horrific and telling."
