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.
“You mindless Trump supporters never cease to twist reality”
How did I twist reality?

Why do you oppose Trump so? Everyone knows about Trump so do the candidates and any who are watching his run....and let me add what’s the worst that could happen if he DID win? Do you think he’s going to cow tow to the Demorats?
He’s going to do what HE thinks He can do regardless which side of the aisle people are on....this man has no “side”. HE is what he is as he is.
Some of them for sure!
It’s not just Trump people jump quick on it’s everybody they’re not supporting.....vetting is one thing...feeding off the media buzz is another.
Today someone said it was time to ditch the Constitution and install Trump as a dictator.
Yes, it was a serious post.
- Who is the latest meanie who dissed Trump, and how well did Trump put the said meanie in their place.
- How well Trump performs in a verbal internet brawl.
- Initially he took elements of the Cruz campaign platform and broadcast it five times louder.
In the mean time, the issues that need to be focused on are being ignored. The liberals will love the issues not being discussed, and their record not being publicized.
bump!!!
He has no chance of winning.
He is well aware that he has no chance of winning.
He is looking to buy a Turd party to run from, not to win, but to siphon off enough votes to give Hillary a possible chance.
Hillary’s downward spiral may change his plan soon.
Trump doesn’t understand that there is no such thing as earmarked funds?
“...vetting is one thing...feeding off the media buzz is another.”
You make a good point.
Almost all of them.
That was my point.
They have no business other than abortion.
Whatever other “referrals” they make, it’s only a miniscule portion of their budget. If we cut funding based on the percentage of non-abortion services, they’d essentially get next to nothing in Fed Funds.
Certainly not enough for a Lambo.
(Maybe a rusty Fiat 850.)
IMO Trump is saying what he thinks conservatives want to hear.
Being uninformed and not conservative himself, it’s bound to not come out right.
Men like Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus are in the history books because their kind *are* history - as in not to be found in this day and age.
It's the same as trying to install Plato's Republic.
You first need a populace capable of understanding it.
Then you need that same populace to produce men capable of *doing* it.
By the way, Sheila Jackson Lee suggested essentially the same thing with The Usurper.
She wanted to send ideas to the White House (straight from the CBC) and bypass Congressional Legislation by using only executive orders.
We should not be surprised that Donald Trump is one of these crowd. But, people are listening to what they want to hear and they don’t care that he is lying through his teeth.
I seem to remember that coming from Lee...heifer that she is.
I don’t believe you’re right on those notes....he’s way past this now....and certainly could win......and there’s no way the guy’s going to give anything to Hillary....he’s running now to win and we know that....
so what are you using to build the case you have in your mind?
You can’t go by his past...he has no special allegiance to any party now....and look at the people he’s placed around him....they are not left leaning either.
