That was one of the most amazing parts of the CBS Debate and Cruz at his finest.
In a feisty exchange related to core principles, Cruz pointed out that Donald Trump had said the federal government should fund Planned Parenthood. Not only did Trump agree that the federal government should fund Planned Parenthood, but Trump praised all the good work Planned Parenthood does.
Look for that to be turned into an ad rather quickly. Cruz seriously kicked the snot out of Donald Trump on stage. In fact, during the course of this, Cruz said he liked Trump and Trump thanked Cruz. Less than a minute later, Trump was turning on Cruz like Jekyll turning to Hyde. It was bizarre.
Cruz got under Trump’s skin and played it perfectly.
Negative. It has everything to do with the books.
If tax dollars cannot be used in abortions, the procedures couldn’t be done in a facility tax dollars provides. PP would need to establish separate self funded satellite clinics for those procedures.
Women visiting a PP “women’s clinic” would not be “aggressively pushed” into abortions. If one wanted an abortion she could go to a PP stand alone clinic, or one of a hundred privately funded facilities that would continue to exist in every city.
I am pointing to the fact that many are saying that PP does NOT provide any important services for women, when in fact they do. And the women who avail themselves of some of those services actually wouldn’t seek help if they had to pay even a few dollars.
For example, a prostitute who might get an STD multiple times a year.
I get that many people feel that as long a PP does abortion then NONE of the other services they provide have merit. I don’t believe that to be true. And to posit that a person who believes that those other services have value = this person supports abortion, well THAT is what is pathetic.
“If tax dollars cannot be used in abortions, the procedures couldn’t be done in a facility tax dollars provides. PP would need to establish separate self funded satellite clinics for those procedures.”
PP already has plenty of satellite clinics, where no abortion is performed. What they do, is make referrals to their facilities that do them. These places are nothing for marketing locations. And tax mone
“Women visiting a PP “women’s clinic” would not be âaggressively pushedâ into abortions. If one wanted an abortion she could go to a PP stand alone clinic, or one of a hundred privately funded facilities that would continue to exist in every city.”
Of course they are being aggressively pushed, that’s the entirety of how PP operates. Most women when faced with unplanned pregnancies don’t immediately decided to have an abortion. They are hesitant, they explore their options, but they are also vulnerable. PP exploit this and tells them why abortion is the solution to all their problems and try to rush them to a decision, and many women in their vulnerable state succumb.
Look. You want to assume PP will continue status quo no matter what walls are put into place. Go right ahead. I’d suggest if for no other reason than to eliminate the reciprocity between PP and the DNC, walls will be put into place at some point.
You never seem to address the simple fact if PP did not exist tomorrow abortions would continue.
Nobody ever said defunding PP will end all abortions. That’s a separate battle.
The point is taxpayers should not be forced to pay for PP’s promoting of abortion. Trump wants to continue to force me and you to pay for it, and you seem to be okay with it.
I’m not.
Now we’ve gone full circle.
Trump will end those funds, you should be dancing in the street.
“Planned Parenthood does wonderful things and we should not defund it.” - Donald Trump
You want to dance in the streets over that, you can do it without me.
"It does do wonderful things but not as it relates to abortion,"Trump asserted. "Excuse me. Excuse me, there are wonderful things having to do with women's health...But not when it comes to abortion." - Breitbart.

So he was for it before he was against it?
“.. before he was against it?”
Good. You admit he’s against it.
Admit that Trump’s been on both sides of the issue and can’t be counted on? Sure.
FInally you admit the truth. You just choose not to believe him.
I’d seriously look into a different screen name. LOL!!!
Yeah, because I choose to doubt a guy who takes both sides of every issue and you don’t I’m the one with the issues.
Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night.
