Donald Trump has come under fire from conservatives and anti-abortion activists after he called a 15-week nationwide ban on abortion "a terrible thing and a terrible mistake" in an interview. The proposed ban has been seen as more humane than the type of universal bans with no exceptions that have long been associated with the "pro-life" movement.
