Why then did Trump initially say he was NOT in favor of defunding Planned Parenthood--which is WIDELY known to be little more than an abortion mill (now also known to have been selling parts of DEAD BABIES.)

(They don't do mammography, BTW.)

Based on your post, Trump should be talking about defunding Planned Parenthood RIGHT NOW. Planned Parenthood is despicable and monumentally crooked. A more principled conservative would not waffle the way Trump does.

Sorry, you are not correct. Trump has talked about defunding PP. He has committed to defunding PP during TV interviews and during meetings with voters.

He originally said he wanted to defund the abortion aspect but fund the pap tests and women’s health care part. He didn’t waffle, he just hadn’t had much actual experience with PP other than women who told him what good things it did. When he saw the videos he was outraged and disgusted as was everyone I know. It was shocking and deplorable to see what actually goes on and the callous disregaurd for the miracle of life and innocent suffering. Not to mention the effect on women and society.

I think there was a matter of a couple of weeks where he couldn’t believe that PP didn’t have some aspects that were not tainted. When he looked into it he spoke up and has remained committed. There has been an evolution since 2000 when Trump was prochoice as many men were because women told them it was none of their business. After an interview by Tim Russell where he felt pinned down to saying that if it was legal and he was pro choice he had to say yes. Then he recounts that he looked up what partial birth abortion was and decided then and there that he couldn’t step aside, that he personally thought abortion was wrong.
He made a point of giving an interview on the topic then.

This is a summation of Trump’s journey from pro-choice to pro-Life. He didn’t waffle he came into an understanding of what was entailed and stopped standing aside.
