During an interview with CNN Tuesday morning, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump stated that he was open to the idea of continuing to fund Planned Parenthood with federal tax dollars.
“The problem that I have with Planned Parenthood is the abortion situation. It is like an abortion factory, frankly,” Trump said. “And you can’t have it. And you just shouldn’t be funding it. That should not be funded by the government, and I feel strongly about that.”
When pressed on non-abortion services Planned Parenthood allegedly provides, Trump said, “What I would do when the time came, I’d look at the individual things they do, and maybe some of the individual things they do are good. I know a lot of the things are bad. But certainly the abortion aspect of it should not be funded by government, absolutely.”
Trump continued, “I would look at the good aspects of [Planned Parenthood], and I would also look, because I’m sure they do some things properly and good and that are good for women, and I would look at that, and I would look at other aspects also. But we have to take care of women.”
In other words Trump is open to a status quo many conservatives find unacceptable and immoral; also a typical federal government shell game to skirt around the law. If you give Planned Parenthood money for these so-called “other things,” the abortion provider can shift money from those “other things” to abortion.
Any money given to Planned Parenthood funds abortion. Period.
Trump also made clear that he was in favor of the rape, incest, and life of the mother exceptions for abortion.

He discussed it. Said was opposed to the ‘brutal’ abortion part of Planned Parenthood and would stop funding for that.
These are hit pieces today, probably to take the heat off of Jeb for his grandfather’s extensive Planned Parenthood involvement.
Nolte cherrypicked quotes, but Trump said over and over again that he wants to defund PP.
These are a series of hit pieces on Trump, to try to smear him with PP. Probably to get the stench off of Jeb for his family’s long time involvement with Planned Parenthood since the 1940’s.

Facts are not “hit pieces,” especially if they are as relevant as this is.
Trump’s ruse of funding other operations is a bad joke. PP is all about abortion, and there would be no way to separate that tiny fraction that is not about abortion.
.
There was no “ruse”. Listen to the whole interview.
Nolte cherrypicked quotes, but Trump said over and over again that he wants to defund PP.
AH!.. and you believe him?..
I believe that Nolte took Trump’s pro-life statements today on CNN out of context today.
Listen to the interview yourself.
I get the confusion, but the repetition by the TDS sufferers gets tedious. Like a bunch of chicken-littles running around claiming the sky is falling. Even more tedious because it puts me in the position of speaking up in the defense of a candidate when I have zero intention of voting.
Thanks. I need to ping some Freepers here for their formal apologies to me!
He just lost it.
On Hannity last night.....Trump made it clear he is absolutely against abortion ........AGAINST........he just wants to help women with other health issues
Why is even Breitbart gunning for Trump?
Sorry, its all ruse!
If you wish to be blind, be my guest.
