Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) challenged Donald Trump on his view of Planned Parenthood during the GOP debate in South Carolina.
Cruz charged that Trump supports taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood.
"Where did I support it?" Trump asked repeatedly.
"You supported it when we were battling over defunding Planned Parenthood," Cruz said in return.
Trump said Cruz's statements were "a lot of lies."
"You said, 'Planned Parenthood does wonderful things and we should not defund it,'" Cruz pointed out.
"It does do wonderful things but not as it relates to abortion," Trump asserted. "Excuse me. Excuse me, there are wonderful things having to do with women's health ... But not when it comes to abortion."

Because the republican leadership are gutless moderates. You know ...what Ted Cruz calls “The Cartel”.

Trump is making it cool to work for Planned Parenthood again.

Morning (Still am in NM)
Do you consider my posts re: abortion as an attack on Trump?
Do you consider me, pilgrim, as anti Trump?
Do you consider me stupid?
Just wondering. Thanks.
I wasn’t posting to you so I’m not sure what you have said about abortion and Trump. Do you want me to hunt down your posts, read them and get back to you?
I hadn’t taken note of your particular posts per se but I think abortion is HORRIBLE. What was exposed about PP recently had my stomach so turned I couldn’t read the details about without feeling nauseous.
What Trump said about PP at the debate was immediately distorted and taken out of context by the Trump haters because that’s what they do. I have no idea if you were one of these people.
Pretty disingenuous to attack Trump who has no control over it when there were two senators up there on that stage that were part of the senate that just funded planned parenthood for two more years.
Thank for the abortion opinion. It is a difficult thing to even comtemplate.
Not sure if there are any good things that PP does.
There is a lot of accusations and distortions on this website.
Not trying to start an argument are you saying both Senators voted for the budget? The two Rubio and Cruz, I think they are the only two there. Saw one report where Cruz voted against the budget vote in December but Rubio missed. Am I misinformed?
Thanks again and am glad you feel the way you do about the carnage of our innocents. Seems to be a very small minority these days.
Take care.........pilgrim
You’re welcome.
It could be overhauled from the dark side under the right leadership.
Yes there is.
Rubio skipped out and Cruz voted no. Rubio is a sleeze. If Cruz held abortion as such a major campaign talking point, shouldn’t he have done more than just vote no. Where were his leadership skills? He couldn’t get his fellow republicans in a majority held senate to get on board with him and he wants to be POTUS? Of course it all goes back to my former posts on why abortion will never be defunded. He’s just blustering about it for the benefit of the evangelicals and his campaign.
I do agree with you on the carnage of the innocents but we can find comfort knowing where their souls are. I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of those committing this carnage when they have to face our maker.
You too. I’m sure I’ll see you around.
Thanks not sure what the good PP does.
Not sure Cruz could win the Congress over when he went there and stood up to those that were co-opted by the leadership.
Not sure if you remember Trent Lott
(Yahoo News) - From a former Republican Senate majority leader to an incoming one, Trent Lott has this advice for Mitch McConnell: Deal “sternly” with renegade conservatives and quickly “co-opt” new GOP senators so they don’t drift over to the obstructionist side of the party.
To me he stood against the establishment that is being so disliked and put down today.
To me it seemed you inferred or insinuated that both Rubio and Cruz were part of the ‘cabal’ in funding the budget. Thanks for clearer explanation that statement
I was under the impression we wanted the people we voted for to stand up against the establishment. He did that.
He has said he would make a stand against the pResidents nomination for the SC. If he does, think some here hate (and I do not often use that word), hate him or what he stands for they will not give him credit for that stand.
Wonder how many of the existing Senators still believe we should adhere to the Constitution.
Will stop here.
Thanks for a reasonable response. Disappointed with all the bluster in attacking the poster, accusations, name calling.....you have seen it from those who disagree with Trump. LOL!! Feels like a Jerry Springer special and someone will pop up and SURPRISE!!! :)
I still think this was written with inspiration!!!! Hope you would agree.

“When Jesus said “Suffer the little children to come unto me”....HE did not mean kill them so they can come sooner.”
Wow. Still moves me with every reading.
Thanks again!!!
Take care.........pilgrim
Thank you! It really is true. The only way people can see it is if the blinders are removed from their eyes. I pray The LORD remove more blinders. To see the world as it is, as Gods, is utterly amazing!
Have considered using one from Annieokie’s post.
“When Jesus said “Suffer the little children to come unto me”....HE did not mean kill them so they can come sooner.”
Do not know if there are too many words to fit or not!!
Too many words.
Forget about all the little critters with the “smart Quotes”
“””””””” have to weed them out!!!
Take care
I’ve got an idea. With an open SCOTUS seat on the line let’s make abortion and PP the centerpiece of the 2016 election. Brilliant idea. What could possibly go wrong?
Crap. Yes! I left out the word NOT.
ugh! I’m sorry. And mad at myself lol
