He said he might want to fund non-abortion services.

"He said he might want to fund non-abortion services."

What non-abortion services? PP performs zero mammograms.

Trump is uninformed and trying to say what he thinks will sound good.

Businessman Trump is unfamiliar with the term "fungible"? He must certainly be stupid --- or else he´s counting on all the rest of us being stupid.

The Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funds for direct abortion-related "services," has been a rider attached to funding bills for 40 years now. Not that it amounts to anything: it´s just a bookkeepers´ trick, since anybody can move money from one column to another.

So via funding for "non-abortion services," the PP abortion biz (de facto, not de jure) has been subsidized for 40 years now.

Oh me oh my. A federal funding shell game? I'm shocked. And Trump didn´t know? But bluster on, Donald, bluster on.
