TRUMP: They do some very good work, cervical cancer, lots of women;s issue women;s health issues are taken care of Planned Parenthood does a lot of good job a really good job at a lot of different areas but not on abortion. So, I;m not going to fund it if it's doing the abortion. I'm not going to fund it
But she loved the money Paul Ryan sent.
I could swear this has been posted for three straight days now.
BRILLIANT strategy by Trump - there is NO WAY that the “War on Women” meme can be used against him - as it CERTAINLY would be on Trump and even Rubio.
That is that it takes to ACTUALLY WIN, rather than ‘lose on principle’.
NICE!
If she had some reason to be fearful she'd be crying like a banshee.
Code Pink likes him, now this chick. Everybody loves the Donald. He’s just great!!!
Way back when, my gf and I used PP for birth control, check ups for her also.
Yes, abortion is ugly, sucks, and should be stopped.
PP is a health clinic as well.
Yay!!!!! Posted again, and again, and again, and again.....
Me, I want the borders sealed, illegals deported, and muslims prevented from coming in under any circumstances.
I will take THAT, ugly as it is, over the abortion fight every day of the week, God forgive me.
Our biggest battle should be our first battle.
And now we have that interview.
Cruz's campaign posted the video earlier today of Trump with Tim Russert on Meet the Press in 1999.
Russert asked Trump about gay marriage. Trump didn't want to comment on it, but said he has no problem with gays in the military.
He explained, "I've lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, okay? So my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa."
When Russert asked Trump about abortion, he said he's "pro-choice in every respect" and again cited his New York background, which he said has a "different attitude" from most of the country

___________________________________________
"the way Trump described his "evolution" from the pro-choice to pro-life position raises some interesting questions.
He said: "Friends of mine years ago were going to have a child, and it was going to be aborted. And it wasn't aborted. And that child today is a total superstar, a great, great child. And I saw that. And I saw other instances."
Now, I'm one who cheers whenever someone publicly switches from supporting abortion rights to supporting human rights for all - including the unborn. I am glad to see people like Norma McCorvey, the "Jane Roe" of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, or Bernard Nathanson, founder of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, become pro-life activists.
But I find it difficult to cheer Trump's conversion, because the reason he gives for being pro-life doesn't correspond to the pro-life ethic.
Trump says he is pro-life because of a "superstar" child who could have been aborted.
Consider how he responded to a reporter who wondered if he would have become pro-life had the child been a "loser":
"Probably not, but I've never thought of it. I would say no, but in this case it was an easy one because he's such an outstanding person."
To summarize Trump's view: "I'm pro-life because we shouldn't abort fetuses that may grow up to be outstanding people."
But opponents of abortion take a different position: "I'm pro-life because we shouldn't kill innocent human beings, no matter who they might grow up to be."
Trump's reason for being pro-life depends on the potential outcome of the child in the womb, rather than the fact that there is a child in the womb. But the pro-life ethic is grounded in the inherent worth of all humanity. It is wrong to commit violence against innocent human beings. Full stop.
And that's where, ironically, Trump's position sounds similar to the pro-choice idea that the human fetus is "potential life" or that the value of the unborn depends on whether or not the child is "wanted."
Extending Trump's logic leads to more problems. If we adopt the position of abortion opponents merely because of what a child may grow up to be (a "superstar!"), then why should we care if 67 percent of Down syndrome children are aborted after a prenatal diagnosis? What would Trump say if he were told there's a better chance an "unwanted" child from an impoverished or minority neighborhood would grow up to be involved in crime? ..."

CRuzer’s are stuck on Groundhog Day.
This is a Yuge embarrassment for Trump and Trump supporters.
What is the most horrible about it is the many here on Free Republic defending the comments and AGREEING with him.
What should be happening is Trump supporters calling his campaign headquarters and saying we want to defund Planned Parenthood, period.
If Cruz said something like this, that is what his supporters, myself included, would be doing.
