Trump Trolls/Critics Again: While Planned Parenthood Does Abortions, No Tax $'s Should Go Their way
Breitbart ^ | 11 Aug 2015 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 08/13/2015 9:09:17 AM PDT by Red Steel

The hits keep on coming for the Donald.

In response to several folks seemingly misunderstanding what the 2016 GOP frontrunner said on CNN on Tuesday morning about Planned Parenthood funding, Donald Trump has issued a statement to Breitbart News exclusively that makes it crystal clear where he stands: While the organization conducts abortions, they should receive no taxpayer dollars.

That means Trump supports one of two pathways forward for Planned Parenthood: Either they stop conducting abortions, or they lose all their taxpayer subsidies.

Trump said in his exclusive statement to Breitbart News on Tuesday evening

While Planned Parenthood is engaging in the despicable practice of abortion — in addition to then selling aborted baby body parts to the highest bidder — the organization should receive no taxpayer dollars. The liberal left wing always claims that Planned Parenthood isn’t about abortion and that it’s about other general areas of women’s health. I am totally in favor of women’s health and if they can put their money where their mouth is, and stop the abortion services at Planned Parenthood entirely, we can talk about government funding for many of the other aspects of the organization that do a lot of good.

There’s nothing Trump said in his CNN interview that suggests he is open to funding Planned Parenthood with taxpayer dollars while the organization continues conducting abortions.

I heard what he said to Hannity...he wasn’t ambiguous about his affinty for “the good things they do”. The more he speaks the clearer his weakness on the issue.

While the organization conducts abortions, they should receive no taxpayer dollars.

And if they stop doing abortions, what exactly do they do that is so important that we have to fund it?

They should dry up and blow away, with their directors serving hard time in prison.

Much of the other general funding to the and from the federal government is also in question.

Thanks for posting the full title. But your modified title is WRONG!

Using the : is saying Trump is making the claim that While Planned Parenthood Does Abortions, No Tax Dollars Should Go Their Way.

But knowing that defunding PP will make the GOP a target by the feminazi he has said that the other service they provide should be covered in another method or whatever

Well my understanding from this story is Trump is for ending the federal funding of PP as long PP performs abortions. That is in line with most conservative positions on the subject (particularly from those running for office). As I said, I don't like or trust Trump, but I can't demand specifics from him and then not be fair enough to give him kudo's when he provides them - especially when I agree with the position.

Personally I don't think the federal government has any business funding PP even if they weren't performing abortions - to me that is the real conservative position. But in fairness, other than maybe Rand, no Republican in this field would take such a stance largely due to political considerations.

Now if I've read this wrong or Trump is now saying something else (which he is prone to do) then I will take back my acknowledgment that he has offered clear specifics in line with many conservatives current thinking on the issue.

but they are not going to be unless a dictator says so .. so the best you could hope for is to stop all funds for the abortions and move on with more serious problems like sealing the border from illegals, a monumental economic collapse or nuclear war

Birth control is number one on their agenda
That being said :
A few years ago PP charged three times the amount for a one month supply of birth control pills than they did for a once every three or four months for a single abortion. That’s about 9:1 cost for patient time three or four times a year. This report was years ago in California have no idea what the figures are now. This financial manipulation of their clients is not being talked about. But since PP can’t make enough money on birth control since other than the pill is now being used they have found another source; selling baby parts
I MO The women clinics (non PP) need to be supported in replacing PP
And as Dr Ben is doing the purpose behind the founder of PP should be exposed When the clients no longer trust or want their services. PP will implode

LoL. I did write the full title in post 1. I see the mod accommodated you I think. He still had to modify the words of the full title to get it into the 100 character limit.

Thanks. And thanks to the mod.

I still can't see how even the Breitbart title is correct.

While Planned Parenthood Does Abortions, No Tax Dollars Should Go Their Way

↑This is not what Trump believes.↑

Stephan Hayes—what a joke. I remember his hysterical hyperventilations about how Trump ‘blew up’ his own campaign over the McCain comments. Hayes really embarrassed himself during that episode. Why does anyone still take him seriously?

He did not accurately report to what was said or meant. He and many in the press have a tendency to put words in people's mouth in particularly here in Mr. Trump's mouth. In some occupations that would be grounds for termination of employment.

I like what Trump is doing generally to the msm, liberals, and GOPe.

But.. Trump needs to redo his position.

Two issues here (besides the baby butchering and murdering):

1. The biggest issue is that PP is not constitutional. It should receive NO federal money (MY MONEY) regardless of what it is or is not doing. I don’t find PP in the constitution, anywhere! As it was so eloquently put a long time ago, “It is not yours to give.”

2. PP uses money given by federal government to fund democrat party.

So true! But the time of media standards is sadly past. Now the so-called journalists are just trying to put notches in their belts any way they can.

Trump isn’t so easy to take down, however. Hayes might want to check out how well it’s working for M. Kelly before he starts frothing at the mouth a second time.

No, his people are still trying to take others down.

That’s seemingly his game plan.

What’s to stop PP from having abortions done through a proxy abortionist?

PP them becomes an abortion referral service.

PP then gets federal funding and
PP gets a referral fee

Fiorina - “In fact Planned Parenthood does very few mammograms, just as one example, but what they do is a whole lot of abortions,” she continued. “And those Planned Parenthood clinics are specifically located in poorer communities. There are many in the African American communities who believe Planned Parenthood is preying on their communities.”

http://dailycaller.com/2015/08/12/fiorina-slams-trump-for-defending-planned-parenthood/

- - - -

This is how the next tv debate goes between Fiorina v. Trump:

Fiorina: Trump wants to fund PP I do not.

Trump: I want to defund PP while they do abortions regardless if it’s 1 or millions of abortions. They do not quit abortions no government funding. They are going to have to change their sick business in killing babies.

Forina: The government taxpayers money should not fund PP at all.

Trump: You said it yourself that PP are located in poor and African American communities and you want to deny them of general health care like blood pressure testing and pap smears after PP have given up on abortions? The priority should be to cut much of the other federal largese that dwarfs what PP gets. Cut the EPA a bane on the U.S. economy and deny federal funds to sanctuary cities that shield illegal aliens, et cetera.
