The hits keep on coming for the Donald.
In response to several folks seemingly misunderstanding what the 2016 GOP frontrunner said on CNN on Tuesday morning about Planned Parenthood funding, Donald Trump has issued a statement to Breitbart News exclusively that makes it crystal clear where he stands: While the organization conducts abortions, they should receive no taxpayer dollars.
That means Trump supports one of two pathways forward for Planned Parenthood: Either they stop conducting abortions, or they lose all their taxpayer subsidies.
Trump said in his exclusive statement to Breitbart News on Tuesday evening
While Planned Parenthood is engaging in the despicable practice of abortion — in addition to then selling aborted baby body parts to the highest bidder — the organization should receive no taxpayer dollars. The liberal left wing always claims that Planned Parenthood isn’t about abortion and that it’s about other general areas of women’s health. I am totally in favor of women’s health and if they can put their money where their mouth is, and stop the abortion services at Planned Parenthood entirely, we can talk about government funding for many of the other aspects of the organization that do a lot of good.
There’s nothing Trump said in his CNN interview that suggests he is open to funding Planned Parenthood with taxpayer dollars while the organization continues conducting abortions.

But all the Walker supporters said he loves abortions.
Give him credit for specifics. People like myself who don’t trust Trump and don’t believe he is a real conservative have been calling for details to back up his bluster. If I am reading this right he is specifically calling for ending Federal Government funding of PP as long as they conduct abortions - which they will continue to do. Doesn’t get more specific than that. Personally I think we should end funding for PP even if they weren’t doing abortions, but this position is clear and in line with most conservative thinking on the subject. Lets just hope he really means what he says here.
They also say dumb things like, "He can't win." and other loser statements. But then again, what do you expect from GOPe scum?
PP needs to be eliminated. They’ve been doing this for heaven knows how long and cannot be trusted. Their whole industry is based on murder and the selling of human goods.
He was clear enough on Hannity the other night, but two of the three talking heads wanted to misinterpret his words the Weekly Standard Stephan Hayes and Ms. Tarantula.
I said just wait a minute that’s not what Trump meant or said.
Walker has all but given up anyway : )
Trump is showing some ambivalence in his forthrightitude.
Trump changes his position on Planned Parenthood more often than John Kerry changed his on Iraq.
When a guy has been “very pro choice” his entire life, he doesn’t have much credibility to start with and all the flip flopping only makes it worse.
I really don’t give a $hit about Trump, but why haven’t the Planned Predator locations been shut down and directors arrested. Many laws were broken, right? I don’t get it.
Same with Hitlery . . . why no arrests for the obvious felonies?
I guess ending funding is an acceptable compromise with what should really be done but we don’t want to enrich the rope merchants and reusing the same rope would make it take too long.
Despite Rose’s statement, Trump has previously publicly stated—when he called for Republicans in Congress to do anything and everything to defund Planned Parenthood—that he has in fact watched the videos.
I agree with Trump. And has there ever been a good report on what percentage of PP’s business is abortions, and how much of other services? That would be good to know.
If it’s 90% an abortion mill, then shut it down. But if if does provide worthwhile family planning (pre-pregnancy) and women’s health services, then it should be funded for those purposes if there are no other entities to provide those services.
Stephan Hayes—what a joke. I remember his hysterical hyperventilations about how Trump ‘blew up’ his own campaign over the McCain comments. Hayes really embarrassed himself during that episode. Why does anyone still take him seriously?
Ms. Tarantula seems to be particularly anti-Trump, I’ve noticed.
But knowing that defunding PP will make the GOP a target by the feminazi he has said that the other service they provide should be covered in another method or whatever
Yes, They’d make it that the GOP is against women from getting mammograms.
After Hannity Trump interview she said that Trump was for 'single payer health insurance' even after she heard Trump just say 'eliminating state lines,' essentially eliminating inside the state health insurance monopolies, where a buyer could have hundreds of other choices buying insurance from any other state. I said man on man they can BS!
That’s what, his third change on the issue this week?
