ome pro-life voters are wondering how long Donald Trump can continue to praise the nation’s largest abortion business and continue getting away with the claim that he opposes abortion or would sign a bill defunding Planned Parenthood. Tonight — unprompted by an interview or attack from a fellow Republican presidential candidate or from someone on the pro-abortion side, Trump praised the nation’s biggest abortion conglomerate.
To be sure, Trump couched his praise in opposition to abortion. But, there’s something genuinely hypocritical for a presidential candidate to say he opposes abortion and Planned parenthood funding on one hand while praising the nation’s biggest abortion corporation on the other.
It would be one thing if the hypocrisy came on some obscure policy issue related to taxes or government — it’s quite another when the duplicity regards the life and death of 58 million unborn children and the 324,000 unborn babies Planned Parenthood eviscerates in a given calendar year.
Yet here is Trump again defending Planned Parenthood on the night he should have been celebrating primary victories in a handful of states. This time, however, Trump goes further. Not only does he defend Planned Parenthood, he attacks pro-life voters who disagree with him...

Why can't you people tell the whole truth?
Planned Parenthood is conservative. They conserve aborted baby parts for commercial use. Common sense conservatives see how Planned Parenthood is useful in helping billions of women.
Does anybody ever listen to the whole point? Defining any support of some of the work that PP does, he also unequivocally said but as long as they provide any abortion services, they will get nothing.
What is so tough to understand?
At the actual election - if the choice is Trump or Hillary (aka ‘the first female Herod’) then there really is only one choice.
Trump is NOT pro-life.
I presume a general election flop to solid pro-choice is one of his strategies. Most FRumpsters will hail it as a brilliant move.
Single issue voters are the DC Uni-Party’s life ring. Split the vote and the baby-killers win every time.
Super Tuesday is over, you can stop the lies now.
Your boy Ted Cruz lost pretty big.

I am not going to subscribe to a rag that cannot put the who, what, when, where, why in the first paragraph. What did Trump say (direct quote) and how did he say it, in context? Until I see that, such claims are discredited.
I think you are talking to people who do not respond well to reason.
Why not praise Charles Manson for being so family oriented?
I suppose you don’t accept Saul’s conversion on the road, either.
It must tough and lonely being the only pure person on this hateful planet, eh?
I watched it last night and that is not what happened.
The problem with our side as much as the left is that there are so many lies.
He said he would not fund PP if they carry on killing babies.
He never attacked conservatives which was also a lie.
Please don’t let this site go the way of DU by posting lies.
akin to the choice in Louisiana when there was a former Dem named David Duke running as a Republican against a known and convicted crook (who was elected and again convicted of corruption).
In the choice of Stalin or Hitler, neither was a good choice.
Trump doesn’t fall to either of those extreme examples but saying there is only one choice is not always so clear (sometimes the best choice is to leave a country or state). Trump HAS changed his positions and HAS given to the Democrat leadership that gave us the America he now wants to make great again. And who does he challenge? The Republican leadership. Color me skeptical when he claims to be the biggest Christian and the most Conservative candidate. He speaking in sweeping hyperbolic and general statements.
I will never vote for Hillary. Whether I vote for a third party or leave it blank or vote for Trump are all still up in the air.
You have no issue with people who are willing to murder a baby as lo g as they aren’t doing it right this minute?
Yet here is Trump again defending Planned Parenthood on the night he should have been celebrating primary victories in a handful of states. This time, however, Trump goes further. Not only does he defend Planned Parenthood, he attacks pro-life voters who disagree with him:
Trump dismissed the notion he is not a true conservative because he supports Planned Parenthood, insisting he is “just doing what’s right.”
[What did Trump say (direct quote) and how did he say it, in context? Until I see that, such claims are discredited.]
From TRUMP’S mouth to your ears (eyes)...
“Look, Planned Parenthood has done very good work for many, many — for millions of women,” Trump said in a news conference Tuesday night. “And I’ll say it, and I know a lot of the so-called conservatives, they say that’s really … cause I’m a conservative, but I’m a common-sense conservative.”
Trump said he would not fund Planned Parenthood “as long as you have the abortion going on,” but noted the “millions of people — and I’ve had thousands of letters from women — that have been helped.”
Why should they get one dime of tax money? For any reason?
I don’t mean to throw a grenade into this, but:
The Republicans have had total control of Congress since 2010. That’s 5-6 years. Have they in that time defunded Planned Parenthood?
Someone should tell Trump there are thousands of clinics across this country that provide health services to women but NOT abortions,the tax payers should not be forced to fund with their tax dollars planned parenthood PERIOD
