You didn’t read the article did you?
“Trump said he opposes federal grants going toward Planned Parenthood’s abortion practices, but noted that abortions make up a “small part” of the organization.
“There’s two Planned Parenthoods, in a way,” he said. “You have it as an abortion clinic. Now that’s actually a fairly small part of what they do, but it’s a brutal part. And I’m totally against it and I wouldn’t do that. They also, however, service women.”
>>So it makes sense to target just the abortion portions and end Federal funds to them.<<
Well, the states are cutting funding 100%. Why not the Feds?
Trump is way off the reservation on this one, and you know it.
While it sounds like he is just echoing Democratic talking points (and this is precisely what the Democrat candidate will say), my guess is, like most other issues, Trump is completely ignorant about Planned Parenthood and is just winging it when it comes to specifics.
Trump would much rather stick to his protectionist and one liner shtick. He is not a conservative and therefore can’t be expected to understand the specifics of issues conservatives care about. He is a protectionist mixed with a streak of nationalism, and complaining about trade deals (much like Bernie Sanders) is where he is most comfortable.
Sigh - read the article. He does not support abortion or support funding it.
“If trump becomes President he risks loosing his entire $10 billion empire.”
Considering most Presidents exit the White House with more cash than when they went in, just how would Trump risk losing his?
I see his wealth along with his ego as a huge positive. He’s just simply not going to be bought.
>> Trump needs an education on this.<<
He’s almost 70 years old. He should be fully educated by now, or at least know where he stands on abortion. And he does, as his recent statement shows. Send PP the money and believe everything they say.
They tell me its all part of some brilliant plan to be revealed later.
I’m still waiting on the Obama birth certificate he promised.
It’s a small part of what they do, dontcha know?
It wouldnbe if that was what he said
He said %that when he got home after debate his daughter Ivanka pointed out that if PP was completely defended the women’s vote would be at issue because there were health issues that women needed. That we absolutely should never fund abortions but women should continue to have the other services. Something would need to be worked out. (Did NOT say under the banner of PP. That is a divisive memo the feminazi from media is attempting to create. Don’t fall for it!
>>”They also, however, service women.”<<
Spoken like a true politician—NOT
“Service women”?? That’s worse than Romney’s keeping a binder full of women.
Besides, money is fungible. PP survives on tax dollars. The states are cutting them off. The Feds should too. Every dollar. The GOP wants to redirect the funds to other organizations that SERVE women, a very good idea.
Any money given to PP funds abortion either directly or indirectly.
Yesterday on the Glenn Beck program they were laughing about the stuff/info that was supposedly found in Hawaii.
Secret stuff they said as they laughed on and on about this.
Dupes for Donald.
That’s why I was never totally sold on him. The bandwagon is solid and shaky at the same time. I’m sure as time goes by, everyone’s true colors finally come out.
I know!

And that is exactly what Trump said on The Kuhner Report yesterday afternoon. There is a thread on here with the transcript and link.
That’s why I’m not going to worry about it right now. Trump’s job right now is to take on the GOPe, I’ll worry later whether or not he’s POTUS-worthy.
You what they say, “give people enough rope and they’ll hang themselves” I want Cruz.
I want Cruz to win..... :)
