Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump set off a firestorm of condemnation Wednesday with a call to punish women who obtain abortions if the procedure is banned in the United States.

Trump's assertion that women should be punished for getting an abortion, which came during an interview on MSNBC, set off a storm of criticism on both sides of the divisive issue
