Trump’s gotta be careful on this “war on women” stuff, so I think his answer is fine.

My answer to the PP supporters...

If you want to keep this (⅓ support from government):

Let go of this (supposedly 3% of your services):

They can't and they won't because the truth is much bigger than these charts convey.

I agree. The fact that we fund a food program and it buys more beer, liquor and cigarettes points to the effectiveness of conditional government funding.

How is eliminating PP stopping abortions? If you the government (taxpayers) is funding abortion the name of the Organization doesn’t matter. Plan Parenthood is just a name. Taxpayer support abortion is what needs to stop.

Yo, Donald, you’re losing me here. What purpose, aside from abortions, does PP serve? It’s redundant. There are other government funds for the exact same services. There’s obamacare for any and all medical needs. The government has made private businesses pay for the pill and extend maternity leave. No one today is in the dark about sex and pregnancy. Need advice? Tweet to the world and the world will advise you in 140 characters or less. Bottom line, there is no need for PP, period.

His response should be the one that Ben Carson uses — Why do we need Planned Parenthood when we already have all those services under Obamacare?

There’s no War on Women here ...

Hey Don—You’re walking into a trap if you think you can reason or compromise with the Left.

Yes, Trump is just as bad as those two. So why should you support the loser?

Mr. Trump would you agree that the Nazi death camps should not have been shut down because they were good for the employment of the folks in those nearby towns. Thus the camps were good for the economy of Germany.

Donald knows how to make a buck. That’s probably it.

Guess he didn’t know who’s talking points to steal on this one.
I’m not buying a thing he says, diarrhea of the mouth to me.

Let's compromise and fund Planned Parenthood's mammogram facilities.

Oh wait, they don't have any. Never mind.

That is practically impossible. PP could technically use the taxpayer funds for non-abortion services and reroute donations used for those services to abortions.

But I guess if The Donald, our conservative savior, thinks PP is OK, it must be OK. /sarc

"And just how would The Donald ensure that the funds provided to PP for "non-abortion services" NOT be used for abortion services?"

No assurances can be given whatsoever, it's just the opposite. Money is fungible whether from government taxpayer largess or private donations.

Trump's brain seems to be fungible on this subject...and he'd better clear it up fast.

My favorite quote:

DT: Well I can tell you this. I would and I was also in support if the Republicans stuck together you could have done it with Obamacare also, but the Republicans decided not to stick together and they left a few people out there like Ted Cruz. You know, they left a lot of the people who really went in and wanted to do the job and you know what? If they had stuck together they wold have won that battle. I think you have to in this case also, yes.

My opinion is that of the outsider group (Trump, Carly, Carson, Cruz) that is polling 54%, the purest conservative hands down in Cruz. I like all four, but if I am honest the conservative is Cruz.

Ted Cruz REMAINS the only true Conservative in this race.

It’s basically subsidized/low-cost birth control and STD tests, as I understand it.

Yeah, if you have Obamacare coverage, I guess some of it could be covered under an annual physical, but otherwise, of course, it goes up against the huge deductible and so is fully out of pocket.

Since a candidate should know the problems of Obamacare, Carson’s answer is flippantly trying to make another point, but it doesn’t actually seriously address the issue.
