ABORTION PUNISHMENTS It was at this point that Donald Trump's strategy of just winging it on policy started to hurt him. But by the time he told Chris Matthews on March 30, 2016 that he thought there "has to be some form of punishment" for women who undergo abortions, it was too late to stop him from becoming the GOP nominee. The gaffe locked in a now-familiar pattern of him having to spend days disowning his outrageous statements instead of doubling down on them. And that sucks up precious airtime that could be used to call attention to Hillary Clinton's vulnerabilities. This comment also didn't help lift his rock-bottom favorability ratings among women.

on June 12, 2015, Gaza City, Gaza. The devastation across Gaza can still be seen nearly one year on from the 2014 conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants.
