While many Republican presidential candidates continue to bash Planned Parenthood for controversial videos revealing its work on aborted fetal tissue research, frontrunner Donald Trump has decided zig where his rivals have zagged.
In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, Trump mounted a defense of the women's health provider, noting "they do good things that aren't having to do with abortion."
"Let's say there is two Planned Parenthoods in a way," Trump 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."
Trump reiterated on Fox that he opposes abortion, but thinks Planned Parenthood's other services ought to be given a second look.
"There are many ways to do that, because I'm totally against the abortion aspect, but I've had many women, I've had many Republican conservative women come up and say Planned Parenthood serves a good function other than the one aspect," he said. "We have to help women."
(Just to be clear Planned Parenthood does NOT use federal money to fund abortions.)
Man I can hardly wait to read Sarah Palin's blistering Facebook screed against Donald Trump for THESE remarks.
Yep, still waiting.
Are those crickets I hear?
P.S. While you're waiting here is a video from Funny or Die that reveals the "real" problems with Planned Parenthood.
