Shortly after he claimed to be a “unifier” during his Super Tuesday press conference, Donald Trump was at it again, lambasting “so-called conservatives” who don’t share his liberal position on Planned Parenthood, continuing to insist he applauds the group because it allegedly “does a lot of good of good things” for women’s health.
Similar logic applies to his position on ObamaCare. He loves the coercive freedom- and job-killing individual mandate, which is the heart of ObamaCare, because he doesn’t want to see bodies in the street, a classic liberal rhetorical scare tactic. Planned Parenthood may do the occasional mammogram referral, but the heart of its business has been abortions, and money, the saying goes is fungible. His support of Planned Parenthood is incompatible with his claim to have seen the pro-life light.

“I don’t really care what anyone says, I think this is brilliant general election strategy.
First of all, Trump’s editorial on abortion makes it clear he is pro-life. Secondly, by attacking only abortion and not all of Planned Parenthood, he immunizes himself from left-wing attacks in the general that he “hates women”.”
Ding.
This takes away the dems “war on women” theme they, and the media will undoubtedly unleash during the General.
80% of something is better then 100% of nothing. This is one of the reason "Conservatives" continually fail. If you don't get 100% of what you want, you would rather get 100% of what you absolutely oppose with Hillary "Cult of Sanger and Abortion" Clinton.
If Trump means to defund abortion services at Planned Parenthood, that’s great. If he doesn’t, that would be bad.
I read this to mean 99% of Planned Parenthood’s funding would be gone.
If the Left figures this out after the fact, so much the better.
What are you TALKING ABOUT. He said he would CUT ABORTION FUNDING?
He is a product of the 24/7 psychological warfare, like all of us—bathed in the Malthusian, Darwinian, Hitlerean worldview that is constantly spewed from most (if not all) public and private outlets/schools.
Killing babies is always wrong, Donald. Government involved in families to normalize killing babies in children is pure demonic. Forcing “Vice” into “Just Law” is diabolical and will collapse culture (Cicero).
Without Virtue in the people and Just Laws that ONLY promote ‘public virtue”, we will collapse. There IS no “civil” society possible with a “baby-killing is good” or “sodomizing others is good” worldview.
Good and Evil in Western Civilization is Christian ethics only and we are flipping 2000 years of Good and Evil to the pagan, satanic, Hitler days—normalizing it in programming “public” group-think systems like that Prussian system of mass indoctrination.
Christian virtue (Just Law) is always in line with God’s Laws which is the founding ONLY “Justice” system of the USA.
“He loves the coercive freedom- and job-killing individual mandate, “
The Cruz style misrepresentation isn’t even worthy of correction anymore.
TRUMP PLANNED PARENTHOOD PING
Both the wife and I voted Trump in VA the other day, but...
you have NO PROBLEM with funding PP other than abortions?
Why should PP or any other welfare begging filth in this country get one single cent of your or my money?
Every voter needs to have their own priorities. The only priority I don’t respect is “Hatred for candidate X” (as opposed to “Hatred for candidate X’s positions”)
My priorities
* immigration
* economy/jobs/trade
If PP is your top priority, then Trump is not your candidate.
If abortion is your top priority he may or may not be a good choice depending on how you interpret his positions (which are hard to interpret and/or trust). You may be able to live with Trump and focus on federal congress and states for abortion issues. Or maybe not - it’s your vote and your priorities.
Trump just released his obamacare/healthcare overhaul. There is no mandate suckers!!!
Thank you, you lightened my heart this morning. :)
You are sooooo right who cares about dead babies we got a wall to build!
“Planning families” is private, period. Government funded agencies destroy the Natural family and autonomy and force their “morality/psychology” on the family.
Virtue formation is essential in childhood and is only done in the family unit which teaches self-reliance and Natural Duties and individuality (not group-think)-—destroy virtue formation in children (the autonomy of the Natural family) and you collapse civil society.
All government agencies which “help” create dependency-—charity and help comes only from churches/individuals with NO coercive force. Government is evil always (all Founders stated that.)
Donald Trump is a shrewd business man and a politician, I do not hear the voice of God when he speaks. Lets keep our perspective here.
Yup.-—https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/healthcare-reform-— Check out positions #5 and #7. Those 2 alone could reduce healthcare spending by upwards of 80%.
Yeah who cares about babies when Cruz’s and the Rube’s senate fully funded PP!
That’s great. Now cut all the other stuff too. Or is this the “compassionate” Republican crap we’ve heard before?
Rubio and Cruz are politicians. Trump is indeed a shrewd businessman seeking to BECOME a politician. Also consider that God, at times, speaks in mysterious and diverse ways......
