MSNBC's Chris Matthews pressed then-candidate Trump on his position on abortions during a March 2016 Town Hall and asked if there should be punishments for undergoing the procedure.
"The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment."
"For the woman?" Matthews asks.
"Yeah, there has to be some form," Trump continued.
Trump also said that, under the law, said punishments should not apply to the person who got the woman pregnant.
Matthews also asked Trump what would happen if he banned abortions. Trump replied: "You'll go back to a position like they had, where people will perhaps go to illegal places. Yeah, but you have to ban it."
