Donald J.Trump suggested he supported shutting down the federal government to stop funding for Planned Parenthood in the wake of videos that show officials with the group discussing fees for tissue from aborted fetuses.
In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday, as the Senate voted down a measure to stop federal financing for the group, Mr. Trump called the clips disgraceful.
Mr. Trump cited the efforts to shut down the government in order to halt funding for the Affordable Care Act, a movement in 2013 led by Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas and a candidate to be the partys presidential nominee, and suggested that tactic should be used again.

... and the MSM newsers ... led by the NY Times ... are horrified at the prospect of defunding baby killing ... and if necessary shutting down government temporarily to accomplish it!
I can agree with him on this.
this is why Trump’snumbers will not shrink for some time, if ever.
he exposes the GOP leadership as cowards
TRUMP/CRUZ BUMP!!!!!!!
He better stop it right now, or he’s going to make Mitch McConnell cry!
John Boehner went on a jag after reading this.
Do it. If there was EVER any reason for government to shut down over funding then THIS is it.
Why not. We have a moral obligation to stop the killing.
Much like Sen. Cruz, Mr. Trump is often saying things that resonate with me.
Has the ‘Political Pontiff’ weighed in on these evil, sickening videos yet?
Sorry, Maggie, but they are discussing the selling of body parts from 20-week old babies. The 'fetal tissue' meme is now on the internet dustbin.
Black unborn lives matter !

The GOP leadership reads polls. This may not be a hill they want to die on. We may think a shutdown over PP funding is a good idea (so do I, on a gut level), but Joe and Jane public will just see it as yet another chapter in a never-ending (40+ year) abortion battle that most of them are tired of.
Shutting down and defunding is not enough. People need medical license pulled and Orange suits issued!
The entire connection between Margaret Sangor-Hitler and PP positioning clinics near inner cities plus the percentage of AA babies killed need exposure
GOPee silence on this issue is silently approving. We are NOT in Nazi Germany where speaking out equals death. We who have been repeatedly charged with being racist should stand up point our fingers and collectively point out the true racist
Wow! Donald is not pulling punches. Maybe he and Cruz can make a plan. This is encouraging.
You got that right. Flood the Vulture’s phone lines and emails at the Capital!
Stop it, my head is spinning.
I have read numerous Posts right here on FR that Trump loves Planned Parenthood and is as Pro Abortion as Hillary Clinton.
I also heard he is also one of those CCL Carrying Gun Grabbers.
This must be from an edited Tape, just like the Planned Parenthood stuff.
Shutting down the government would be a great thing for any excuse at all. Keeping it shut down would be even better.
Trump says all the right things, but he doesn’t believe any of them, if his history is any guide.
Cruz says all the right things, and his history says he believes them.
I hope that snippy witch Megyn or one of the other Fox moderators brings this up at the debate on Thursday.
I want to see the RINOs (especially Kasich, if he’s there) squirm.
