Ted Cruz went after Donald Trump's repeated praising of the Planned Parenthood abortion business last night during the Republican presidential debate. Cruz essentially said pro-life voters shouldn't support Trump because "he thinks Planned Parenthood is wonderful."
As LifeNews reported, Trump stood firm in his defense of Planned Parenthood's very few services other than abortion during Thursday night's CNN Republican debate...

Cruz is a liar and is misrepresenting Trump’s position. No wonder no senators have endorsed him.
You are wrong. I, Donald Trump, solved this years ago. It was great.
Thank you for your reply.
It’s harder to stop legalized abortion than to start it, true.
>>>Do you honestly think there is any chance to change the culture back to the point it would request abortion be made illegal?
First point: We should always try. It’s that important. And it’s the conservatives duty, if you will. William F. Buckley said about conservatism: “It stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it.”
This is what conservatives have to do. If we don’t, who will?
Second Point: I think it is possible to void the false constitutional right to abortion. It is based on a shaky foundation of ‘right to privacy’.
This decision can be changed/voided. This would give legal authority back to the states. (Roe v. Wade invalidated all state laws on abortion. Prior to Roe, abortion was prohibited entirely in 30 states and legal in limited circumstances in 20 other states. )
This would make government decisions on the lowest level possible (again a conservative principle).
But it requires a president who values the right to life a great deal in nominating to the USSC.
I think Trump does not value it, or at the least has given up on changing it. And, respectfully, I think you have also. Please don’t?
thanks again for your courteous and thoughtful reply.
>>>any chance to change the culture back to the point it would request abortion be made illegal?
It’s bad, but maybe not as bad as we think:
“According to the national survey, 84% of Americans want significant restrictions on abortion, and would limit abortions to, at most, the first three months of pregnancy.”
