Donald Trump suggested that he would not support ending taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood's non-abortion services in two interviews Tuesday.
"We have to help women," Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity in an interview that aired on Tuesday night. " So we have to look at the positives, also, for Planned Parenthood."
Trump said he opposes federal grants going towards Planned Parenthood's abortion practices, but noted that abortions make up a "small part" of the organization. ...
Trump appeared to support shutting down the government rather than fund Planned Parenthood in an interview last week. "Asked directly by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt if its worth shitting down the federal government to strip Planned Parenthood's $528 million in government funding, Trump replied, 'I would,'" Politico reported.
Planned Parenthood released a statement Tuesday lauding Trump's comments, urging Republicans to "reconsider their extreme and unpopular positions on defunding preventative care" and "abortion bans." ...

This is not an anomaly. He’s like this on every issue. Like amnesty.
He’s twisting his own position. Tell me what the good parts of Planned Parenthood are?
bump!
Among a few. Again, maybe they really don't do all that stuff listed above and all their funding goes to abortion, but as a canadidate running for Pres, I am gonna give Trump the benefit of the doubt that for the above listed services, that is what he considered as good things.
Now if after he is elected and he goes in and start doing an audit and finds that most of the funding does go to Abortion, then I am gonna take him at his word that he will defund it.
I dont see any twisting in that, with the exception of how posters here are reporting it. Thats the twist. Anyway this topic has been debated to death on here and even Mark Levin said yesterday to move on and stop wasting time on what he said or didnt say.
Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of some conservatives’ attachment to Trump. Yes, he says some things we agree with, but he is NOT a conservative, or a viable candidate.
I agree that his compliments regarding Scotland’s medical system were nutty. That’s not a system I approve of, and he hasn’t proposed that type of system for us. And thats where you guys get dishonest.
Take him to task on the Scotland comments, but give him credit for supporting a robust private sector solution to our own health care needs.
He has indicated he wants a multi payor insurance situation. He has indicated he wants to eliminate state restrictions on insurance companies ability to provide services across state lines to go nationwide. That way there will be more competition, more plans available, and lower costing policies for the public. That is a Capitalist solution. So all the handwringing is just that. You nervous dishonest Nellies get caught with your pants down, again.
Obamacare is designed to wind up single-payer, so this is not Obamacare. If you don’t know that, you aren’t equiped to discuss this issue.
Trump did praise the Canada and Scotland systems. He’s wrong on that. He hasn’t suggested our plan should be designed like those. Please provide a link to any place where he as explained what he plans for our health system in more detail, that includes anything like single payer and socialism.
He deports them, but you call that an amnesty. LOL Even you must see the asinine nature of that gem.
We had asked that these people be deported. He agrees to it. You’re upset about it. Didn’t we demand these people be sent back to the nation of their origin? Didn’t we say they could get in line there? Didn’t we say they could return? Good grief you folks are a bunch of nut cases. Honestly, this is better than I had hoped for. I expected him to simply give the a green card and let them stay. I’m glad to hear this. It means they will be vetted at the border.
I don’t see Trump as silly in a scary way. I see some folks on my side of things who aren’t happy when the get exactly what they asked for.
His private solution to Obamacare is exactly what we wanted. His illegal immigrant plans are exactly what we wanted. This you call silly and scarey. Very strange...
Attention span? What attention span. These are two things we wanted, and you can’t remember that. Then you seek to trash others because of their lack of memory? Really?
No lies? Your post was full of them. You misrepresented Trump a number of times here.
No but you don’t mind pitching the Koolaid.
I’m not buying what your selling.
You called this guy a Socialist. He’s one of the most successful Capitalists the world has seen.
You didn’t know that.
Awesome, DO.
= :^)
Just doing the job some FReepers refuse to do.
There 8th no way he is pro-life. He didn’t change his position until it was onvenient. And he still doesn’t understand the issue. He has made a large donation or participated in activism.
:)
gee where did you get the idea he ever had any principles?
Sorry, nope, the way he speaks it’s just a rehash of Obama care. His aide slips up there in that statement. Also January to now is a short time to take up what is basically what is the GOP solution, which is something he recently started saying he wants to do. Just repeating what others are saying see?
“He has indicated he wants a multi payor insurance situation. He has indicated he wants to eliminate state restrictions on insurance companies ability to provide services across state lines to go nationwide “
You Mean what Ted Cruz and others have been talking about as part of a replacement for Obamacare?
From Trump, it’s just words. He’s a socialist on health care, even admitted to it, but now to save Hillary he’ll act as needed. And you act as if it’s something new when real conservatives have already proposed such things.
On that deportation thing.
Uh. Did you even listen to him? Deport them, then bring the good ones back? It’s a logistical impossibility. He’s just covering all the bases like a good liberal does when cornered on a question which is say something that sounds good, even if it can never be.
In truth something like that would require us to grow the federal government in order to manage that task.
Also no, I think we can find plenty of natural citizens to do what is supposed jobs that, what Don says “Americans won’t do.” It’s almost like Don is saying “That’s nigga’ work and good white citizens just should not be made to do it!”
Real solution would be, remove the red tape that government places that makes it less than profitable to pay well for those jobs. Threaten farms with removing their federal subsidies among other things if they employ illegals.
Instead, he just wants to somehow gather them up,good plan, but bring back the good ones, magically, because he says so! A logistical impossibility that is more silly than his claim that he’ll make Mexico build a wall and that Mexico will like it.
He has to try to pander to the ‘Latinos’ while trying to still trapping attention span conservatives who can’t think beyond the last thing said.But right now he’s repeating some conservative bloggers and rewording what we conservatives have said we want for so long, but when he gets caught in it.
People like you make up for him in a heart beat and it’s sad because you could actually find a real conservative to back and not some nutter who’s sitting in to take a dive for the DNC.
Trumps a liar and a fake. It’s good he’s there to speak on behalf of the bloggers out there, but his conservative blood is about as thin as his hairline.
Mammograms are obsolete. Shoot me for not knowing. Good...then do whatever test they’re doing to replace it.
That really wasn’t the point. The point was that a PP without abortion services is no longer anything but another doctor’s office.
Man you converts really do like to go all out on your retorts over good reasoning.
“You folks.” - People who have a long term memory about the shill that is Trump.
Trump - I’m quite liberal and getting much more liberal on health care and other things. I really say: What’s the purpose of a country if you’re not going to have defensive and health care?” Yeah, I said a lot that made no sense, lol, what’s that Trump? Oh yeah, you’ve changed.
DO-
“Okay, then Ted Cruz and others have said it. Did they copy someone? Oh of course not, becauser when they say the same thing Trump does, it’s from God. When Trump says it, we all know where that came from.”
While real conservatives have been saying it, Trump, even during this year, has been praising the socialist health care systems in Scotland and now that it is his time to dive, he’s saying what real conservatives have been saying.
Repeating things, like lines, so he can continue his act.
Listen, his good buddies the DNC/Clintons need Trump in the front, on TV all the time, to insure the 2016. He’s a tool being used to shove aside the conservatives we actually have been looking at since last campaign cycle.
Names like Cruz and Walker, people who have experience in doing things, not just saying things.
But oh, yes please, defend the thin blood as if he’s a saint. All his strategy is, is Tweets, one liners and outlandish statements that are somewhat agreeable, but tactless and a lot of times, they mean nothing.
Much like anything else he says.
Did he mean these words here?
2012
“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman,” he told Greta Van Susteren. “I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.”
Or these words?
2007 Donald Trump said, “Hillary’s always surrounded herself with very good people. I think Hillary would do a good job,” as he praised her ability to negotiate and ultimately handle a deal with Iran.
Or the $100k he donated to the Clinton Foundation?
Or the many many many donations over the years to the DNC that put in place Obamacare?
I guess you’ll say no or that he’s changed his mind or say that he means what he says now about Hillary and not what he said then.
If Trump is serious at all at the moment, then he’s a madman and shouldn’t be trusted anyways because he’ll wake up tomorrow and change his mind again on everything. I doubt it’s that easy, to call him a madman.
So what is it then? The guy who took a phone call recently from Bill Clinton, confirmed by staffers as ‘not pertaining to anything related to the campaign’(laughable)!
Trump is the Republican candidate the DNC will rely on for their own victory.
It’s an odd world we live in where people are defending PP who consider themselves conservative.
I have not heard one person defending PP on Free Republic. Have you?
I’ve read quite a few posts that are in defense of PP now.
It’s the simple factor of adding Trump to the mix that makes things crazy. Like an alternate reality kicks in for some people lol!
Guess what everybody, Trump is a flip flopper, NOT. TDS LOL! GO Trump!
These are stupid headlines but if you read what he has said it all comes down to the same thing Trump Is against abortions but good try.
