“Washington (CNN)—Donald Trump said he believes Republicans should shut down the government rather than fund Planned Parenthood, the health services group that is facing scrutiny after undercover videos of its officials emerged.
Trump said Monday on conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt’s show that the videos, which feature Planned Parenthood officials apparently discussing the sale of fetal tissue and organs for medical research, are “disgraceful.”
At the time of the interview, Trump said he was unclear where the Senate stood on an upcoming vote Monday to strip Planned Parenthood of federal funding.
“I’m in my office in New York and I guess as we speak they are going for a vote of some kind,” Trump said. “Is the word that they won’t get that vote?”

Freepers are going to have conniptions.

Exactly .
Trump has a wonderful life as a direct beneficiary of freedom and hard work. Why is it hard for many Freepers to believe that he means what he says? Why do they not think he loves America?
All of the concerned ones are talking about an aged lion that was put down by an unsuspecting dentist. Babies don't matter to the genocidal perverts who are in charge.
