Trump has said time and again that if Planned Parenthood was performing abortions they should be defunded. End of story. Cruz is a lying weasel, who stands no chance at the nomination. If Fox and the establishment manage to run Trump out of the race, Rubio will win the nomination. You heard it here first. Fox hates Cruz as much as they hate Trump. And Fox plays kingmaker every four years in the GOP. Establishment.
Planned Parenthood performs abortions. It is disingenuous to leave that question open with your 'if' clause.
. . . if Planned Parenthood was performing abortions they should be defunded. End of story.
Uh, no. Not the end of the story. Here is Donald Trump's position again:
Donald Trump Defends Planned Parenthood
Earlier Tuesday, Trump backed off his demand that Republicans shut down the government rather than give federal funding to Planned Parenthood. Republican leaders in and out of Congress support shutting down Planned Parenthood entirely and shifting funds to community women's health providers.
Trump reiterated on Fox that he opposes abortion, but thinks Planned Parenthood's other services ought to be given a second look.
When Conservatives moved to defund Planned Parenthood, Donald Trump broke ranks with them. I know it must be very uncomfortable for you to acknowledge Trump's vacillation on Planned Parenthood and abortion. It is understandable that you would choose to remain in denial on this. That's not my style though. I believe that Trump's own words should serve as a basis for what he stands for. Trump is not the person you wish him to be. He is not a Conservative. He defends Planned Parenthood.
