Donald Trump has "flatly stated" (as some have said) that he is Pro Life.
Donald Trump has also come out in support of Planned Parenthood (just not for aborition) stating they do wonderful things.

I need not remind my fellow Freepers that Planned Parenthood's bread and butter is taking tax-payer money, dismembering babies, and selling those babies as parts.
To be fair to Donald he did go on record as saying Planned Parenthood defunded. This was back when Ted Cruz was fighting in the senate to defund the institution and Mitch, Boehner and company caved in again.
Trump has also released his position on abortion in which he said he was against except in cases of rape, incest, or the mother's life being at stake. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3397429/posts?page=18#18
My question is this: Is His Donaldness strongly Pro-life when he supports Planned Parenthood and abortion in some cases? Is it fair to say he has "flatly stated" he is Pro-Life ?
I know I'm not the only one curious what other FReepers think. Please don't take this as an attack on Trump. The facts are what they are. I'll support Trump in the general election over any Democrat if it comes to it. That said I want to get into and want people to think before they vote for a pig in a poke in the primaries.

No, he can’t.
It wasn’t but a couple of weeks ago his supporters were telling me he’d shut it down. I bet they still think that even though he flat out said he wouldn’t.
He’s fathered 5 children with 3 women. You think Trump supports abortion?
Trump can state anything he wants.
It’s like saying you’re pro-KKK, but not anti-black?
Can he? He's already doing it.
What does that have to do with it? Ted Turner has more children than that and he is pro-abortion.
the first sentence of his article several weeks ago said he is ok with abortion in cases of rape and incest. It is not a straw man argument as 14k babies are killed each year this way.
Some are hoping he is God’s vessel and will see the light once in office.
Others say many more children will die if the other side wins.
Still others say it’s a terrible tradeoff, but nonetheless necessary to save the republic and millions of lives.
a few even said that they would want the child aborted if it were their daughter and they would answer to God later. An honest answer.
These are my observations. Not taking a position on this thread, just stating what i’ve read.
Trump can, and did, say we should stop funding abortions at PP, but should continue funding other services provided for now.
No, Trump is not consistently pro-life. I think abortion makes him a little uncomfortable but I think he has no strong convictions on the issue and will try to follow whatever course he thinks will be popular.
Nancy Pelosi gave birth to 5 children with 1 man. You think Trump Pelosi supports abortion?
Just because you have a bunch of baby mamas, doesn’t mean you are pro-life.
No.
He’ll claim he was ignorant that all PP really does are abortions.
In this case, he’s probably telling the truth about not knowing. Being informed is not Trump’s strong suit.
Yes and he will most likely never have to chose one for himself.
Trump is a fraud
Can Pres. Trump look at the funding Planned Parenthood gets from the federal government and decide that it isn’t a proper use of taxpayers funds? In an effort to trim the size of the budget, many things are going to be looked at and this one would be an easy cut.
