NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump believes women who get an abortion should be punished if the procedure ever becomes illegal.
During an MSNBC town hall, host Chris Matthews asked the presidential hopeful if there should be punishment for women who get abortions if they become outlawed.
"The answer is there has to be some form of punishment," Trump said, calling abortion a "very serious problem."
"For the women?" Matthews asked.
"Yes," Trump responded.
Matthews asked Trump if women should be jailed.
"I don't know. That, I don't know," Trump stated, adding that it is a "very complicated position."
The billionaire, who said he is pro-life, was not able to explain how he would ban abortions as president.
"You know, you'll go back to a position like they had where people perhaps will go to illegal places," Trump said. "But you have to ban it."
