He alsowon't say life from the moment of conception. He also revalidates that he likes the exceptions of "rape, incest, or life and health"
What are those good aspects?
I support Ted Cruz’s position on the matter.
However, it should be noted that trump’s position is at least harsher than the GOP’s position on PP. They support all of it, and will fund all of it.
The GOPe media is cracking me up. Oh noes. Trump said he wanted to defund abortion but take a look at some good things that they may do for women. (The statement is actually a political winner.)
Same GOPe that never wants to even mention abortion.
Same GOPe that has never defunded Planned Parenthood and actually had the power to.
Same GOPe that adores the Bushes (yet W would not even sign a petition in 2000 to defund Planned Parenthood if elected and Jeb sits on a board connected to PP).
Spare me the fake outrage.
There are some good aspects of PP, but then again, Hitler apparently got the trains to run on time. When my wife and I were very young and poor, PP provided free birth control (NOT abortions). At the time, I remember how they said every baby should be planned. Ideally, that’s true. However, any number of other organizations could provide free birth control. PP pushes abortion. The evil they do far outweighs the good in my mind, plus I don’t think government should be in the charity business. If PP is so good, let the leftists support it with private donations.
He made a very poor statement there. He showed he does not understand that government funding cannot go for abortion NOW. But by funding they have the doors open and can do abortions so makes no difference.
He gave them fuel now!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Mark!
As long as he gave it to Megyn Kelly, Graham, and that univision guy, everything is ok.

This is exactly why I have no interest in the Donald.
So Trump absolutely wants to defund abortion, but said that we need to take care of women.
Trump didn’t say he would continue funding planned parenthood. He said he would look at what they do.
I can’t support anyone who supports federal funding for Planned Barrenhood. Trump is entertaining. And it may be that no one who shares my view on abortion is electable in this godless country. So be it. No more compromise on key issues is my mantra now.
Trump has an unusually high number of mutations, politically speaking. This allows him to evolve rapidly and in any direction that helps Trump.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, the biggest problem I have with Planned Parenthood is the abortion situation. I mean, it’s like an abortion factory, frankly. You can’t have it and you just shouldn’t be funding it. And that should not be funded by the government. And I feel strongly about that and that’s my biggest problem with Planned Parenthood, because, really, if you look at it and the work they do, it really has become heavily centered on abortion and you can’t have that.
CUOMO: They say it’s only three percent of what they do and the money that does go toward abortions is not the money that comes from the federal government, that they separate the two.
TRUMP: Here’s what I would do if the time came: I would look at the individual things that they do and maybe some of the things are good and I know a lot of things are bad. The abortion aspect of it should not be funded by government. Absolutely.
CUOMO: So, you would take a look at it before you’d defund it. That’s what’s being asked for right now. Many in your party are doing the opposite. They’re saying defund it and then look at it. You’d say, look at it first.
TRUMP: I would look at the good aspects of it and I would also look as I’m sure they do some things properly and good and good for women and I would look at that. I would look at other aspects, also. But we have to take care of women. We have to absolutely take care of women. The abortion aspect of Planned Parenthood should not absolutely – should not be funded.
CUOMO: Well, you do know there is a big political debate on this and that many women believe you protect them by protecting their right to choose and that’s something that Planned Parenthood allows. Marco Rubio, someone running against you, says that he doesn’t believe in any carve outs on rape or incest, that there’s no abortion for any level no matter what. Do you agree on that?
RUBIO: I disagree with that. I am for the exceptions. You have the three exceptions. I’m for the exceptions. The health of the mother and life of the mother. I absolutely am for the exceptions and so was Ronald Reagan, by the way. There’s nothing wrong with that. You have to do it, in my opinion. Now, Marco took a strong stand. I respect him. He believes that. I have – you now it’s just a different thing. I am for the exceptions, yes.
CUOMO: Do you agree with him about when you have a person in the form of the unborn that should have a right to attach to them? He says at conception. Roe V. Wade, as you know, says 20 weeks. There are different theories that other people have. When do you believe that the unborn is a person and deserves rights?
RUBIO: Well, I certainly think as the process goes along on more and more, and a lot of people are talking about the 20 weeks and certainly there. Absolutely, as the process goes along. I am a person that feels very, very strongly about, you know, I am pro-life. I’m strongly about pro-life. But I also feel that you, you go with the exceptions, which, Marco, and I was at the dias I there when he made the statement and a lot of people liked the statement and lot of people didn’t. I was in that room. It was a very strong statement made respect him for it, frankly, I don’t happen to agree. I am for the exceptions.

He’s less reliable on the issues than Romney and McCain were.
“He also revalidates that he likes the exceptions of “rape, incest, or life and health.”
Just like Bush, Kasich, Fiorina, Paul, Christie, Graham, and Gilmore.
Question - what about the guy who can't go into jails anymore because he wouldn't sign a paper saying he wouldn't preach that homosexuality is a sin? I'd assume you think he was standing by his Christian principles and made the right choice. I see it as a cop-out and surrender because there is still plenty of opportunity to preach the Word and even the ills of sexual impurity without focusing on homosexuality. If we "stand by our Christian principles" by deciding it's better to forego carrying the Word because we can't carry every bit of it, we tell Jesus that one small aspect of the world is more important than carrying His message to everyone who may need it.
Trump stands for nothing if you look long and close enough at him. Forget flipfloping, he is just quicksand.
Trump fans just keep turning a blind eye to it and parroting my tagline in one fashion or another.
