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.

Ouch!
Thanks Jane.
Aww these folks that are Christians and better than the rest of us. They sure have high moral fiber.
I am embarrassed to know these folks think they represent Christianity.
Wow, ancient history huh? /s
It most certainly should determine who you vote for if you are prolife.
The LIES about Trump that keep getting posted to FR, are getting ridiculous!
Maybe we should all talk about the video Cruz made when he was 18, saying how he wanted to RULE THE WORLD and have LOTS OF MONEY AND POWER.
Quite hypocritical, no?
The Cruzies think a president has the power to do something about abortion. They are politically illiterate.
Did you vote for Reagan?
Good catch, Jane.
I hate it when the anti-Trumpers play fast and loose with the facts.
If you are voting for someone who has defended PP than they certainly have moral high ground over you.
Because FR automatically assigned the date ti it.
By the way.. my article is from August 12, 2015.
Your article is from July 23, 2015.
Evidently Trump changed his mind after having been so aghast.
Some yahoo, up thread, thinks that "HITLER MADE THE TRAINS RUN ON TIME. ROTFLOL
WOW! This is a really important issue compared with what Donald Trump wants to:
1. Build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.
2. Simplify the tax code
3. Eliminate the Department of Education, and Common Core
4. Renegotiate the disastrous trade deals that Obama negotiated and the Conservative establishment, including Ted Cruz allowed to go forward.
5. Attack PC at every level.
6. Repeal and Replace Obamacare
7. Eliminate gun-free zones on military bases
8. Eliminate stupid regulations
Now that may not be “Conservative” because he won’t end abortion and ban gay marriage, but he will combat Political Correctness (PC) at a level not seen since...when?
They will regret this hugely in a few months. Maybe.

in July, Trump told The Blaze that Planned Parenthood should be de-funded in light of recent revelations about their organ harvesting business. He said, “It’s disgusting. And absolutely they should be defunded. I thought it was so cavalier, so horrible.â€
In August, Trump compared the Planned Parenthood abortion business to an automobile dealership, saying it is an “abortion factory†that sells the body parts of aborted babies like a dealership sells cars.
Trump made the comments on the Laura Ingraham show, according to a Daily Caller report:
Laura Ingraham: Yesterday, Planned Parenthood was exposed again in an eighth video released by the Center for Medical Progress. Do you still believe there are two Planned Parenthoods or is it time to defund this organization?
Donald Trump: Well, you should defund anyway because they are doing the abortions. It is like an abortion factory, which is terrible. So you should defund anyway. But those videos are horrible. Every time you see them, they get worse and worse. And it’s not only that, the messengers are so bad. There always, I mean these people, what they say and the way they, it’s like you are selling parts to an automobile or something. It’s a terrible situation going on with Planned Parenthood. There’s no question about it.
Yes, a rather skilled carnival barker that has many (including this forum) so snake-fascinated they can’t see this man for what he is.
Uh oh. Trump is pandering to the Dem single females tired of Hillary.
More specifically, regardless of any good services that PP may provide, it remains that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for anything like PP.
In fact, the corrupt Washington cartel probably provides unconstitutional funding to PP just to win votes from low-information citizens, citizens who were never taught about the federal governments limited power to appropriate taxes.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its Section 8-limited powers to support the new president.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
