From the book … To Offer Compassion: A history of the Clergy ... a History of the Consultation Service on Abortion ... author Doris Andrea Dirks ... and ... Patricia A. Relf During the 2016 election cycle, calls to overturn Roe v. Wade continued. As a candidate in the Republican primaries, Donald J. Trump went so far as to say that if abortion were recriminalized, "there has to be some form of punishment" for women who have abortions, a position so extreme that even antiabortion groups such as Right to Life disavowed it. He quickly modified his stance to call only for punishment for the person performing the abortion, saying "Women punish themselves."
