The Craziest GOP Debate of The Cycle: Trump Defends Planned Parenthood .....

We're just one week away from the South Carolina primary and tonight the remaining six presidential candidates took the debate stage in Greenville to make a final push. Debate moderator John Dickerson opened the night with a moment of silence dedicated to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died earlier today after serving for three decades on the high court.

The debate, hosted by CBS News, was certainly the most entertaining of the cycle with candidates repeatedly going after each other with an audience that loudly booed throughout the night.(snip)

2) Trump said Planned Parenthood does "many wonderful things for women's health" while trying at the same time to dismiss abortion. Keep in mind Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards makes this same argument in order to keep $500 million in taxpayer funding each year. The abortion giant repeatedly claims it only uses taxpayer money for women's health, not for abortion, ignoring the fact that money is fungible. Trump made that argument for Planned Parenthood tonight from the Republican, pro-life debate stage. There's also this:

Imagine how much effort Trump will make to defund Planned Parenthood and their wonderful works.

So the part where he clearly says that no government money should go to PP abortion business was completely missed by you?

Just put the money in Planned Parenthood's condom dispenser bank account, and not in the abortion bank account. Got it.

Does Trump understand business? Or was he just making up stuff on the spot?

Anyway, I'm just glad that he has nice things to say about Planned Parenthood.

They need some good PR after it got out that they ship boxes of babies' heads to labs for big money.

Well stated. The people going after Trump on this are the GOPe types claiming to support Cruz.

Unlike Cruz and some others, Trump is also concerned about WINNING IN NOVEMBER and he simply will not allow himself to be pigeon-holed as the far-right.

We may not like that, but that is what is needed to win, in this environment.

“Anybody have any statistics on how many evangelicals have gotten abortions? What about divorces? Drunk driving? Tax evasion? Kiddie porn?”

That’s a line of argument my leftist acquaintances would make. Just saying.

Actually, it comes from the line of argument Jesus would make. Just Saying.

I see you post these garbage online polls on every thtead. You hardly make any comments and joined FR less than 6 months ago.

Clearly you are a paid troll - most likely here to ferment discord. Not to worry, you will be dealt with accordingly...

Our Trumpeters are being played for as fools.

The stench of the man's sins could bowl over St. John Vianney. Remember:

"After months of reflection, Donald Trump says he still doesn't regret his decision not to ask God for forgiveness for his sins."

Supporting Planned Parenthood [in any way], is to support Satan and all of his works.

Abortion stops a beating heart:

Be leery of those Cruz supporters that come here with religious FR names. They are the worst at being deceitful.

Never thought that I would see the day where Christians are mocked on FR for supporting life. Or that the matter of the very bedrock of Conservatism ... the unalienable right to life ... would be rationalized away.

All because of one Reality TV candidate, who really does great in the polls.

Here is a little tidbit from someone who was a County Chair for the GOP, you pro-life people are hated by the GOP. You/we are the blacks who they only care every 4 years so spin yourselves like tops over this.

You would not believe what they say about you in the back rooms.

So Planned Parenthood has one bank account dedicated to dispensing condoms and one bank account dedicated to killing babies?

How does that work?

But hey, at least Trump is giving the baby killers some good PR.

Yes. It would seem that a couple of the County Chairs are posting on this thread.

Yeah, there's times you can't tell them apart from the hard corps Trump supporters, what with the bashing of the conservatives on the stage and the whole cult of personality thing.

Worse. Some of the Democrats against whom those County Chairs run are posting on this thread.

I was a county chair before I had to resign for posting the truth about the Dems being Marxists. Christians are played like fools inside the GOP.
