C’mon Nolte. Though nuanced, Trump is giving an answer totally acceptable to most conservatives.
That’s how I read it. If you want to have gubment funding of an organization that hands out contraceptives, I’m not for it, but it’s not so reprehensible I’d shut down the gubment over it. But gubment funding of abortion? No. That’s how I read Trump’s comment.
You can show where most conservatives talk about “the good” that PP does, and that we should fund it? I see the opposite. For a long time, conservatives have said you can’t split funds off for different purposes. And since conservatives don’s usually endorse massive social programs, I find your argument hard to believe.
