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.
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.
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.
A true liberal can countenance ANY position.
According to the Liberal philosophy, it is a NUANCED position, something a Constitutional Conservative would NEVER be able to understand...
Choose Cruz
Trump’s mumbo jumbo with Cruz in the debate where “Planned Parenthood does good things” came out of his mouth was reminiscent of some of the mumbo jumbo I’ve heard from local Republicans over the years.
The ones who called themselves “Pro-Life” and then turned around to say they support “Birth Control”.
What drove them I discovered in the end was the simple fact that local millionaires and billionaires supported PP. Those local rich folk were also major campaign donors and so the GOPe politicians were talking out of both sides of their mouths to win everyone’s support.
Donald is rich and I guess he just fits in with all the other rich folks who obsess on ‘birth control’ and support PP.
Remember, he’s a guy who said he could kill someone and the media wouldn’t call him on it, so logical consistency is not something he worries about.
Can careerist politicians who self serving state they are Pro-life and who belong to a party that fully funds Planned Parenthood still call themselves Pro-Life? I welcome your thoughts.
