8/11/15 John Nolte
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.”
... But certainly the abortion aspect of it should not be funded by government, absolutely.”

Nolte took Trump's quotes from this CNN interview "Donald Trump: I'm for the Abortion Exception" here:
http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/11/politics/donald-trump-refutes-third-party-run-report/index.html
Nolte neglects to report that Trump says he is Pro-Life, and then goes on to discuss how he's for the exceptions on abortion.
Nolte justifies his misleading headline by insinuating that Trump knows how Planned Parenthood plays shell games with their Federal funds by pretending that they perform other "women's services" than abortion, while abortion is pretty much ALL they do.
Wonder if Nolte would have the guts to publish the George W Bush Funded Planned Parenthood story? http://www.wnd.com/2008/10/79317/ LOL!
Disclaimer: I am not in love with Donald Trump, but I love that he's taking the fight to the GOPe and I will vote for him in whatever capacity he's running.
As Abe Lincoln said of Grant, I feel about Donald Trump: "He fights!"
I read the article, the conclusion that Trump is basically standing for the “status quo” per Planned Parenthood appears to be true.
I will vote for Governors who have actually defunded planned parenthood, not Senators who make a show of it or Trump who appears to keep up the Status Quo.
This is the second Breitbart article that left me scratching my head.
What’s going on in that organization? Have they been infiltrated? Or has the RNC/GOPe gotten to them somehow?
Something is not right.
Listen to the CNN clip, where Nolte got the Trump quotes. It’s actually a really good interview.
C’mon Nolte. Though nuanced, Trump is giving an answer totally acceptable to most conservatives.
What is not covered in any of the debate about funding PP is that money is fungible. As long as they do abortions, no matter what else they do should be overridden by that one.
Nolte did something else in the last six months that was extremely GOPe-ish. Can’t remember what it was at moment.
If he runs third party will you continue to support him?
Read the comments at the link: looks like the article is trying to set Trump’s evangelical support on fire.
Not sure what’s up with Nolte, as a Hollywood expat, I thought he was their entertainment guy.
I read what Trump is saying is that he supports funding women’s rights but not funding abortion. What planet are these “journalists” on?
Yes. I’m voting anti-Uniparty.
You do realize that you have jsut put shrillary into office,
So? What’s the difference between Hillary and Jeb, or any other GOPe toadie?
If it was Jeb or Hillary, what’s the difference?
Actually, I need to write an article on it. There is a huge moral difference between the hypocritical liberalism of RINOs and the overt liberalism of Dems.
Honestly, how can anyone claim differently anymore? The nations slide into the abyss continues regardless of who's in charge. We need a dramatic departure.

Personally, I agree with Trump. Abortion will never go away. Doesn’t matter how much we want it to. But if PP were no longer allowed to perform abortions the amount being done in this country would drop significantly.
My Girlfriend had money issues a few years ago and didn’t have insurance like she does now. When it came time for her “girl part check ups”(Her words not mine), she went to PP. I had a friend who didn’t know that PP offered those services, when she went they caught her in the very early stages of breast cancer. There are things that they can do that will ACTUALLY help with women’s health. Abortion is not one of those things.
There is this other candidate you may have heard of, Ted Cruz.
Cruz isn’t GOPe
