Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump defended Planned Parenthood during an interview Tuesday night, doubling down on his remarks that part of the group should be funded.
Trump's comments immediately drew fire from anti-abortion-rights advocates, who say that abortion represents a larger portion of what the organization does and that it should be entirely defunded.

Dang, and there are still Trump supporters here at FR?
The Constitution now says whatever the hell five out of nine Supreme Court Justices want it to say. IMHO, this is the primary issue in the election next year.
Four Justices will be over 80 years old next year (Kennedy, Scalia, Ginsburg and Breyer). Of the remaining five Justices, two are young far left-wing Obama appointees who will be legislating from the bench for the next 30 years (Sotomayor and Kagan), two are reliable conservatives (Thomas and Alito) and the other is a flipper (Roberts).
I am betting that Obama will get to replace at least one of the octogenarian Justices (Ginsburg) and possibly two (Breyer) before he leave office. Ginsburg will step down immediately after the current Court term and if at least a couple of RINOs join with the Democrats to confirm Obama’s far left-wing replacement then Breyer will announce his retirement so that Obama will get to pick his far left-wing replacement as well. That would leave only two octogenarian Justices (Scalia and Kennedy) for the next President to replace, and four young, reliable far left-wing Justices firmly planted on the Court.
If any three of the four octogenarian Justices are replaced with liberals then a far left-wing oligarchy of Supreme Court Justices will rule over every aspect of our lives for the next generation to come. Say goodbye to the Second Amendment, free speech, and every other right that is currently hanging on by a 5 to 4 thread.
On the other hand, if any three of the octogenarians are replaced with strict construction conservatives, then they can join with Thomas and Alito and reverse Roe, homosexual marriage, Obamacare, and every other liberal Supreme Court decree over the past 40 years.
Seriously. I will never vote for trump
The rump part of Trump is becoming more conspicuous.
SO....VOTE for TRUMP AND FUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD. Okay, I got it.
You know, we’ll find out.
The political hacks have had their shot for decades.
Lets let a real estate mogul give it a go. How much worse than Bush could he be?
>> And Congress kept them funded. <<
And Trump attacks Cruz constantly over opposing the budget deals.
Did you see this one of the Donald on parade?
Interesting information. and now he’s Trump’s guy.
Do you have a link for this?
This article is from August 12, 2015. Why did you not post the accurate date?
Trump has come out against PP.....
....In a recent interview with The Blaze, Donald Trump told Dana Loesch that Planned Parenthood should be defunded in light of the recent videos showing their top executives negotiating the sale of aborted babies’ body parts.
Trump said, “It’s disgusting. And absolutely they should be defunded. I thought it was so cavalier, so horrible.”
Meanwhile, Trump said in another recent interview that he favors the pro-life bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks......
>>>>>By the way, CRuz’s latest endorser, Rick Perry, is the one who appointed the Judge who indicted the PP expose video makers.<<<<<
A president has absolutely NO control over PP nor abortion.
Did Reagan roll back ROE V WADE?
Did either President Bush?
And this is an old article, it's neither news nor should it determine how you vote.
Further proof that if you like a stand that Trump takes then just wait a short while. He’ll change it to something different.
Hey there Trumpies, he supports Planned Parenthood, he has pledged to work with DemoncRATS Reid and Pelosi, he attacks anyone supporting Cruz with the venom of a dictator in waiting (think Obama) and you still try to delude yourself that he’s a conservative. Wake the hell up! You are supporting the same Progressive movement that has poisoned this nation for over 100 years. You will rue the day becomes the New Narcissist in Chief.No need to reply. I am just one of those hated Southern right wing sexists, bigots, homophobic xenophobes you and your Main Stream Media despises.
So teddy bears and soccer balls Trumps killing babies in the womb? Seriously? Moral relativism has finally found its way onto FreeRepublic.
Ping to my post #50
One day, if this idiot wins, there will be a cacaphoney of caterwalling, and major crocodile tears on this website.
Yes, I figured you knew that. The lies of the left never abate.
This article is NOT from Tuesday, it’s from August 15. It’s old news and obiviously hasn’t hurt Trump at all. His position has been to defund Planned Parenthood as he discovered more about them. I would like to hear his take about the indictments on the good people that took the videos—
A president has a staff of about 2000 and the bully pulpit and the veto and he sets a tone for country. Yes he does have quite a bit of influence over planned parenthood.
Why?
Why savage the first true conservative Presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan to elect someone who openly praises Planned Parenthood,
who opposes illegalization of abortion,
who wants to flood the U.S. labor market (and working welfare rolls) with MORE unskilled immigrants,
who fought for socialized medicine and pledged to elect Hillary Clinton as president,
who thought Obama’s economic stimulus program was brilliant.
Yes, let’s help the Republican party be rid of conservatives once and for all!
Is that what you’re arguing?
How much WORSE than Bush could he be? Shouldn’t we demand someone BETTER?
