Donald Trump suggests he’s open to keeping taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood
Live Action News ^ | Aug 11, 2015 | Calvin Freiburger

One week after calling for a government shutdown if necessary to defund Planned Parenthood, presidential candidate Donald Trump has expressed willingness to let the abortion giant receive federal tax dollars for non-abortion services, Breitbart reports.

In an interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, Trump said Planned Parenthood is “like an abortion factory, frankly” and professed to “feel strongly about” cutting off government funding for abortion. But he went on to say that as president he would “look at the individual things they do… I’m sure they do some things properly and good and that are good for women,” because “we have to take care of women.”

In addition, Trump reiterated his opposition to elective abortion, but clarified that he supports exceptions for rape, incest, and in life of the mother cases.

Breitbart’s John Nolte criticized Trump as accepting “a status quo many conservatives find unacceptable and immoral; also a typical federal government shell game to skirt around the law.” He noted that “If you give Planned Parenthood money for these so-called ‘other things,’ the abortion provider can shift money from those ‘other things’ to abortion.”

Live Action News has previously reported that Donald Trump described himself as “very pro-choice in every respect,” including support for partial-birth abortion, in 1999, but in 2011 claimed to have became pro-life after seeing friends grow to love a child they had initially considered aborting, an anecdote he reiterated in last week’s presidential debate.

Donald needs to understand its like funding ACORN because a part of that organization actually registered legitimate voters.

There's only ONE thing wrong with that analogy...I DIDNT THINK OF IT FIRST.....(nail on the head)

Radical Pro-Abortion Group Calls Pro-Life Scott Walker a Liar on Abortion

WALKER: Years ago when I first became governor the state of Wisconsin, in my first budget I defunded Planned Parenthood. I took some attacks from some in the media and some in the left. But this video is just a prime example. This is not a noncontroversial entity. This is obviously a disturbing, disgusting act that they're talking about. We've outlawed that in Wisconsin in the past. We need to be defudning Planned Parenthood. Not only state by state, but I think across the country and instead put resources into women's health issues but put them into noncontroversial entities..........

The satanic Susan G. Komen outfit must be eliminated as well. Root and branch. Whatever it takes to end the evils of the abortion industry’s child murdering mills.

Trump doesn’t seem to be aware of the abortion funds shell game which is the real reason for the consternation over PP here. Because what he is calling for is what the government is already doing, in name.

“...but in 2011 claimed to have became pro-life after seeing friends grow to love a child they had initially considered aborting, an anecdote he reiterated in last week’s presidential debate.”

“claimed”? I had a co-worker who told me that his wife became pregnant and they toyed with the idea of an abortion, but they didn’t go through with it. The little girl was about three years old when he talked about it. He said he felt guilty, and shocked, over the near abortion sometimes when he held her. He became very much opposed to abortion.

Not only should Planned Parenthood be stripped of taxpayer funding, the whole outfit must be annihilated and its "leadership" should all be serving prison terms for MURDER.

Wipe out Planned Parenthood and its enabling outfits such as the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Restore Godly Principle to the Republic!

Everyone is “satanic” at birth and with that comes a blindness as to just what evils they have been going along with all the while. Deeply disappointed that Komen let themselves get hounded into keeping up the shell game donations to PP. But be careful what plans you unveil as they may be read out to you some day.

If Trump continues making pro-abortion statements, this is what will cause him to crash and burn. No pro-abort can be nominated.

This is why Bush is not launching. He murdered Terri Schiavo, and he is squishy on abortion.

Some people evidently lie awake at night waiting to pounce on anything they can grasp about Trump and twist it beyond all recognition. It is venom and bile. Trump made a political statement a.) to signal he was against abortion, and b.) to keep the media from pouncing all over him and accuse him of a “war on women”. That is all it is. You mindless Trump bashers; take heart, there will be other chances.

“If Trump continues making pro-abortion statements”

Would you please point out the pro-abortion statement that is contained in the new controversy?

Unacceptable. Trump knows money is fungible. You can’t give PP one damn dime of our tax dollars and expect to get my vote.

You mindless Trump supporters never cease to twist reality in search of a tiny niche to turn into a platform to support that liberal Democrat.
