“This is current federal policy”

This is Obama, McConnell and Ryan policy. They fund PP with eyes wide closed.

I doubt that any pro-Lifer has said anything as good about PP as Trump has. It’s hard to believe he really is a Life guy. I’m more a 10th amendment person than a Life zealot but even to me PP is heinous. This is Trump’s worst position.

Trump is not one of us, he never was. But he has learned how to fashion a conservative sounding dog whistle that calls all scared, confused, and pissed off conservative lapdogs (who are obviously not thinking straight) from miles around.

In order to get most females to vote for you, you have to say nice things about Planned Parenthood because things like patriotism, the wall, cutting debt and stuff mean nothing to them.

Tactical move by Trump?

Tactical in the sense that he is deceiving conservatives into doing his bidding.

Trump is a crude megalomania who will make Zero look like an amateur at executive orders, bailouts, and circumventing Congress.

I saw a report on OAN that abortion mills are dropping like flies. Several closing every week.

Reuters just covered a story regarding US Appeals Court allowing Louisiana to enforce a law passed in 2014 which essentially closes all but one abortion provider in the state of 4.7 million.

It grants admitting privileges to hospitals for abortionists.

SCOTUS will hear another one from Texas next month.

You are a liar. Trump is in FAVOR of continuing to fund PP.

‘Trump is a crude megalomania who will make Zero look like an amateur at executive orders, bailouts, and circumventing Congress.’

Sounds good to me...

McCormack actually points out a little-known distortion in PP reporting: that every procedure counts as “one,” thereby minimizing the role of abortion in the total PP budget and allowing them to claim that only 3% of their operations is abortions.

Also, if you watched the body-parts videos, you saw that although they are a nonprofit, the sale of the baby parts enables them to expand the scope of their operations. It’s not profit, per se, but it grows the business. That means more facilities for abortions, and more abortions.

The death cult financing itself.

If you vote for Trump, you are throwing your vote away whether he wins or he loses. He’s a New York leftist through and through. And he will betray the conservatives who vote for him at the first opportunity.

I know you’re going to say I’m a Trump bot, but I don’t think Trump understood their propaganda trick. I only know it because I have friends who are deep inside the pro-life movement, and I posted this yesterday on Free Republic, which is probably where McCormack got the idea for his story.

If Trump is a leftist through and through how do you explain the way he has raised his kids ???? All very conservative and this took a lifetime of teaching, strong work ethics, never in any kind of trouble, wonderful families with lots of children, avid hunters and gun supporters.... The kids are the mirror of the true man.......so PLEASE stick a sock in it!!!! You are looking at statements someone made trying to please crooked politicians while trying to run a business in a cesspool of liberalism!!! Trying to get permits, environmental agency rules passed, inspectors passing each step of the building process.... GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!! You know nothing about being a huge developer!!!!! You know nothing about being a huge business person!!!!!

How the heck do you know anything about Trump or Trump’s family? What do you think of Sarah Palin’s family? Are they the mirror of the mother????

As long as Trump keeps his promise to defund them until they stop doing abortions, he can say all the nice things about them he wants to

I'm not sure he's doing it on purpose but saying 'nice' things about Planned Parenthood helps blunt the meme that Republicans are anti-woman. At least that's my read. It doesn't give the liberals much room to maneuver around Trump.
