Donald Trump refused to say whether he's been with women who have had abortions

Donald Trump's frequent flip-flops on abortion led New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd to try and get to the bottom of it. She directly asked the Republican presidential frontrunner if any women he's been involved with have had the procedure.

"Such an interesting question," Trump said. "So what's your next question?"

Dowd had more luck elsewhere in the interview, getting Trump to admit that retweeting an unflattering picture of Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi, was a "mistake." He also acknowledged that campaign manager Corey Lewandowski should've apologized to former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields after allegedly grabbing her.
