Donald Trump Defends Planned Parenthood, Calls Abortions 'Small Part of What They Do'
The Daily Signal ^ | 8/12/2015 | Natalie Johnson

Posted on 08/13/2015 7:55:42 AM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

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." ...

It’s not a small part of what the do. Trump is using Planned Parenthood’s lies. How did he get them?

I don’t believe it. He supported abortion until it was convenient to claim he wasnt. Provide any substantiation that he is pro-life. He’d lie about that like he has other things. Has he given significant money to a pro-life organization? No.In the past, he didn’t even want a pro-life movement to be allowed. Romney claimed he was pro- life too. You believe everything?

Basically you are just parroting the liberal lie. PP is not working for women’s health. The claim to do mammograms but they don’t.

His job is to dupe conservatives and get attention. Rancid Priebus has never been happier. Trump took out the Tea Party for him.

He has said many things. You can’t just single out one thing. This is the most flip flopping ever.

I am now pro-life; after years of being pro-choice
Donald Trump shocked attendees at the conservative CPAC conference in February when he declared himself pro-life after years of supporting the pro-abortion position. Several months ago, when questioned about his position, Trump responded by saying the public “would be surprised” by his stance and, in an interview with Laura Ingraham from Fox News leading up to the conference, Trump characterized himself as “pro-life” and he repeated that apparent reversal when he told the audience at CPAC, “I am pro-life” and pledged to fight for the reversal of ObamaCare, which contains abortion funding loopholes.
As the 2012 race intensifies, pro-life advocates must call upon Donald Trump to further explain his stand on important pro-life issues like Supreme Court nominations and repeal of the pro-abortion Obama healthcare law.

I changed my views to pro-life based on personal stories
Q: Evangelicals want to feel secure that they’re going to have a nominee that’s solid on those social issues.
A: One thing about me, I’m a very honorable guy. I’m pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago. One of the primary reasons I changed [was] a friend of mine’s wife was pregnant, and he didn’t really want the baby. He was crying as he was telling me the story. He ends up having the baby and the baby is the apple of his eye. It’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to him. And you know here’s a baby that wasn’t going to be let into life. And I heard this, and some other stories, and I am pro-life.

Q: So those stories did change you, they came around and changed you?

A: They changed me. Yeah, they changed my view as to that, absolutely.

He claims to be pro-life when it is convenient. He has a history of lying. There is as much evidence that Trump is pro-life as there is Bill Clinton did not have relations with that women. Do you have anything believable?

In two years or whenever he will be back to being pro-abortion.

1999 - very much pro-abortion Trump.

He doesn’t even know what he is really and in reporting the lie that PP says of itself on abortion, it’s shining through that he’s still an evil liberal.

You know, if you can’t accept what he has said and what he has written then why ask for something believable? I don’t believe God is standing by to personally give you a character reference for Donald Trump and apparently that is the only thing you would find “believable”.

So he takes the Clintonista/Liberal method of covering what he can’t be trusted on.

“I had a friend who. .”

Meanwhile in 2015 Planned Parenthood has positives.

No actually it doesn’t. What it does reveal is how much some folks will read Leftist into some things they want to.

He still doesn’t support the funding of abortion.

That’s the bottom line.

Yeah. About that Trump and trusting him, just not going to do it for a myriad of reasons!

So, being he can only site a story much in the same manner any liberal in front of a crowd they want to influence does, I don’t believe a word.

He wants to still fund PP ‘with exceptions’ and ‘because abortion is just a small part of what they do’.

Nope.

“well, they do lots of other stuff and yada, yada, yada... is to fall for the lie that PP spins.”

PP does a lot of other “stuff” to lead to abortion!!!

Sex ed in schools and their clinics.

Low dose birth control pills and defective condoms.

Professional, trained telemarketers that pose as counselors to sell abortions to scared women.

Really just their very existence.

Yet no mammograms. Oh gee I wonder why? Maybe it’s because their product causes breast cancer?

Total lie. Not what Trump said at all. Total misrepresentation.

He said if they separate out the abortion part of Planned Parenthood and get rid of that part altogether, then the other part does decent things like breast exams, pap smears, etc.

He said he wouldn’t fund it unless they got rid of the abortion part, that as long as they kept the abortion part up and running that he’d work to shut them down.

Still can’t quite get yourself to admit he doesn’t want to fund abortions can you.

My eyes are getting all misty for ya...

I don’t believe he’s changed a lick.

He’s still for socialized medicine, or basically a re-labeled Obamacare. He’s pro-amnesty.

He’s okay with socialism. So how can anyone trust him on anything?

A: He’s still pro-abortion. You just can’t see him turning red as he tries to carry the lie because of his orange tinged skin.

Trump: “A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days. He was really in troubl,e and they released him and he said, ‘Where do I pay?’ And they said, ‘There’s no charge.’ Not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care. I mean we could have a great system in this country.”
Letterman: “Are people afraid of socialism?”
Trump: “Well, people are afraid of a lot of things. But it’s mostly incompetence. … How do you spend $5 billion on a website, just the creation of the site itself, and it doesn’t work? … There are things you could do to give unbelievable healthcare and a much better healthcare system. It’s a complicated topic, unfortunately.”
Trump - A twofer here. Let’s just have Scotlands health care! Oh and endorsing socialism lol!
January 18 2015

On July 31 2015, a spokesperson for Trump clarified to Forbes that he’s “never supported socialized medicine” but is for “a universal ‘market-based’ plan that would offer a range of choices.”

Basically Obamacare. Also his aide lies on Trumps behalf stating Trump has never supported socialized medicine.

__

Amnesty? Well, he’ll deport them, but then let the good ones back in see? To do the jobs Americans supposedly won’t do. Like work at his hotels or the properties he owns and builds on. But he’s not even clear on how to report them.

He’s just silly in a scary way. Somehow he’s suckering so many conservatives that, if you mention the facts on Trump, you get called a liar!

Well I’m just a person with a longer memory, as most conservatives should have and an attention span that lasts longer than 24 hours in a news cycle.

Sorry, but no, no lies pal, I just don’t like Koolaid.

How many times does the mammogram claim have to be proven a lie? No PL facility is licensed to do mammograms. Why would you and Trump keep repeating a discredited.leftist talking point. Why would you support someone who has you repeating left wing talking points?
