Getty Trump suggests abortion laws should stay as they are The real estate mogul also said he agrees with the notion that abortion is murder.

Donald Trump on Friday said abortion laws should stay as they are, while also suggesting that abortion is tantamount to murder.

In an interview with CBS News’ John Dickerson, the Republican front-runner sought to clarify his controversial comments from earlier in the week in which he said that women should be punished for seeking abortions if the procedure becomes outlawed.


Instead, Trump appeared to further muddy where he stands on the issue.

Dickerson asked about current laws on abortion: “Do you have a feeling how they should change? There're a lot of laws you want to change. You've talked about everything from libel to torture. Anything you'd want to change on abortion?”

Trump’s responded that the laws should stay as they are for the time being. “At this moment the laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way,” he said.

Dickerson went on to ask whether Trump disagrees with the proposition that abortion is murder.

“No, I don't disagree with it,” he said.

The latest comments add to a wild week in which Trump came under fire for verbally attacking a female reporter who accused his campaign manager of battery, for promoting the idea of nuclear proliferation, for lamenting the Geneva Conventions, and for reversing his pledge to support the eventual Republican presidential nominee if it's not him.

Two polls also came out showing that Trump trails rival Ted Cruz by 10 points in Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary.

But Trump said he isn’t worried.

“I don't know that it's been the worst week in my campaign,” the real estate mogul said in the interview. “I think I've had many bad weeks and I've had many good weeks. I don't see this as the worst week in my campaign.”
