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." ...

No. Money is fungible. If they do abortions, I don’t want my tax money going there.
YIKES
He’s all over the place on this. I think it’s a sign he doesn’t really have any strong pro-life principles and is just “winging it”.

Trump Defends Planned Parenthood, falsely Claims Abortion ‘Small part of What They Do’
Who thinks we are defunding Planned Parenthood completely? I place the odds at about 1%. So it makes sense to target just the abortion portions and end Federal funds to them. What’s the big controversy? We’ve been trying to burn down PP since the Hyde Amendment. It isn’t going to happen.
Wonder how many Trumpettes will still be arguing that Trumps full blown, blinded by the light, conservative now with me! I’ve been called everything from a paid Shillary, to a Jew plant, to all sorts of things all because I speak out against Trump.
Now he’s done this! Well, time to add this to my ammo pile.
Lefty Trumps wheels are falling off! Sick SOB is now okay with the SS members of Planned Parenthood slaughtering babies and sending them off for experiments with price tags on each bit!

Trump could advocate for seizing homes via eminent domain to pay for socialized medicine for union workers' abortions while yelling 'Hail, Satan!' and a bunch of people here would still scream about how "conservative" he is because he has, after decades, started to pay some lip service to immigration issues (although he favors amnesty)
You mean they have drunk the Kool Aid? /s.
Surely not! /more sarcasm: /s.
This will be his Waterloo. Not any of the in-your-face things that he does. This will let people know that he is not a serious, differentiated candidate.
Trump needs an education on this.
I liked the “trump effect” on the GOP. I enjoyed seeing the establishment squirm. However I will not “pull the lever” for anyone that supports or funds abortion.
I see the Trump cheerleaders are avoiding this thread like the plague.
With me it’s as easy as follow the money.
If trump becomes President he risks loosing his entire $10 billion empire.
If Hillary becomes President, Trump could double or even triple his $10 billion empire.
I don’t believe a guy that can’t go 30 seconds without telling you how rich he is would risk loosing his entire $10 billion empire just to be president.
Trump claims he so rich he can buy politicians so he doesn’t need to be a politician.
Your reply is confusing, please help me out.
It’s been made perfectly clear that Trump wants to defund PP’s abortions and consider keeping the organization alive that provides positive services.
How does defunding abortions make Trump OK with slaughtering babies?
Or are you actually in favor of abortion on demand and fear that if Trump get’s in he will not only defund abortions but do what ever it takes to make them completely illegal.
As with the Rats, GOPe, commies, lefties in general - they are the ones that are the most squirmish over the possibility of Trump getting in. Do you fit one of those classifications?

1. A president cannot fund or defund anything. He can sign or veto.
2. Nobody has asked him The Right Question: Has he seen the Videos?
3. How many of us have phoned or emailed our Congresspeople?
4. How many of us will turn out on August 22?
Also said no money until it’s cut and dried they aren’t performing abortions.
I know, I know.
With most politicos this grabbing a single ‘gotcha’ sentence from a speech might work. Wont work with Trump. He’s likely also said the direct opposite as some kind of qualifier.
