Yep. Building the wall pretty much would be enough.
What I am not willing to do is watch 40 years of GOP politicians talk but no action on Government funding for abortion continue unchallenged just because they say the right words on the campaign trail
You are correct that there is probably a correct understanding of Donalds position that is Pro-Life. The problem as I see it is that Trump spent his life totally focused on business and only gave momentary consideration to political issues.
What happens now that he sees the country going down the toilet and jumps in is that he sometime lets his mouth get in gear before he has even studied the question. In private business this is only a privately offensive approach. In the middle of the public square, it makes him look, ill informed, unprepared and I mean no offense, but, unprincipled.
He needs to realize there are twenty topics that are hot issues to single issue voters and he has to know in advance where he truly wants to stand.
Right you are MNJohnnie. It’s maddening and yet, so expected. Somehow, the reality never seems to quite sink in.
And hoping others will ignore - money to Sharpton, money to the Clintons, money to Democrats, amnesty, support for universal health care, gun control, eminent domain, ethanol subsidies, etc, etc, etc
He is using COMMON SENSE which is sadly lacking with all or nothing conservatives. Narrow minded, tunnel focus, STUPID individuals who can’t see the forest for the trees are destroying this country whether they be whatever TITLE or LABEL accorded them.
“...is the only thing that has resulted in progress on public support of the pro-life position in the past. Its not rocket science.”

Guess that explains why abortion has been outlawed.
Oh. Wait.
> Planned parenthood takes tax payer money to give contraceptives to women
Just think how much better off America would be if all these welfare women could pinch off new welfare cases as fast as they can. Billions of new GibsMeDats in America would really make it great.
Without abortions there is no reason for PP to exist.
Jesus said: Suffer the little children to come unto me. HE did not mean ASAP.
Wrong, Trump people realize actually accomplishing 80% of something rather then continuing the 40 years tradition of GOP candidates saying the right words on the campaign trail and accomplishing 100% of nothing is the goal.
That seems to solve it for me. Get rid of abortions and I can’t think of anything else they do that have a problem with. Although I do think that if you take a way the abortions they would shrivel up and disappear as a business.
I’ve been to the MFL many times. Activism has its role.
But money talks, unfortunately. Take the financial incentive out of the abortion industry and it will fold like any other.
That starts with cutting the federal funding.
yep Trumps mouth is both his greatest tool and his biggest flaw.
A lot of people are missing the point. I think Trump knows PP won’t change and it becomes their choice and he drops the hammer on them.
Saying it this way and knowing all libs hear is that PP does some good things, they automatically assume he’ll protect them.
Saying directly that you’re going to get rid of PP alienates a lot of voters in the general. If you read closely, he essentially says if PP eliminates abortions, they can stay. If not, they’re gone.
It better to stay on topic than getting into a divisive PP war.
Let’s not forget about PP pushing homosexual “rights” as well. The org was created from evil, and it is evil to the core. PP needs completely defunded. Any “good” this evil organization does brings more evil into the world via the law of unintended consequences.
It’s called Pandering....., finger in the wind.
Probably in the back of Trump’s mind
I never thought I’d see the day that Free Republic would defend Planned Parenthood. Can you believe it?
If you want to write planned parenthood a check because you think it keeps people off social welfare with the pill go ahead. But why should I be forced to contribute. Artificial birth control and the sexual revolution has led to rampant single motherhood and disease. But hey it’s a wonderful thing.
Common Sense Conservative = someone who uses his brain to THINK instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
2013 Planned Parenthood
2.7 MILLION Patients
4.6 MILLION Clinical Visits
10.6 MILLION Discrete services
328 THOUSAND Abortions.
It seems to me that there were a lot of useful services to women’s health FAR BEYOND the despicable Abortion practices which color everybody’s opinion. ALL or NOTHING is what you people are saying. You’re just a bunch of fanatics!
What is good about pedaling birth control to teenagers?
Quite a damn lot if you look around
If stupid teen girls who can’t keep their knickers on would just get up and take them every morning
Most of these stupid cows today want to get knocked up
I have taken synthroid and aspirin every day for 28 years and counting
Why do many women and girls forget to take the pill so many days always baffled me till I figured it out
Women are different
What they say and what they really mean are two different things often
Me personally I would not fund planned parenthood regardless....they have become a govt arm basically
Trump has been clear no funding for abortion
I am not sure precisely how their services go?
The percentages depend on who’s talking
I would point out that Planned Parenthood is not the only entity that gets public assistance that is an abortion provider
Most teaching hospitals that are not Catholic or Southern Baptist do not
But all Jewish hospitals I’ve seen do provide abortions as well as mainline liberal denomination Church sponsored hospitals
It’s a damn problem beyond planned parenthood
My guess is Trump is listening to women advisors telling him to speak harsh on abortion all you want but don’t let the Dems and media box you in that you oppose sonograms and mammograms and Yasmin for high school girls
I’m not Catholic and I approve of birth control measures like condoms or some IUDs or the Pill
Not that we took much precautions.....
