"He said as long as they are doing abortions no tax money. If they stop the abortions, then he will look at whatever else they say they do for women."

What would that be?

Trump is a liberal who is parroting the liberal line about PP.

Planned Parenthood Does NO Mammograms

Abby said: "He said as long as they are doing abortions no tax money. If they stop the abortions, then he will look at whatever else they say they do for women."

Abby is right that's almost verbatim what Trump said on Hannity, I think Tuesday night.

The problem with that idea, and also what he said that started this thread ("Abortions are only a small part of what they do") is that it shows a lack of understanding of what "Planned Parenthood" is all about. Abortions aren't a "small" part of what they do, it's one of if not the chief cash cow for them. And as has been pointed out the money they are given each year is quite fungible so they could just use other monies they receive from sources like private donations (make no mistake they get millions from that too) for the abortions and "not use" federal money "for abortion".

The only real solution to PP is to stop giving them any money at all. Let them survive on donations and other revenue streams (although that might not be a good idea, seeing as how they raise money recently). A true (social) conservative would say this. Like Ted Cruz.

Again as I said before on this topic Trump should understand this "fungible" concept as a businessman. And he's obviously not educating himself about PP either.

But hey, he makes good theater. Maybe that's what the country needs right now, I dunno.
