Donald Trump Almost Loses His Temper On Defending His Support For Planned Parenthood But He Says No To Abortion

Presidential candidate Donald Trump showed his support for the organization Planned Parenthood on Feb. 21 and even commended them for their work, but he also made it sure to tell the public that he is against abortion.

Trump is under fire for his support to the said organization's advocacy because it is something that goes against the traditions and beliefs of the Republican Party. However, he made some interesting points as to why he decided to support the group.

In an interview that he had with Chick Todd of the show "Meet The Press" via NBC, Trump said, "I have many, many friends who are women who understand Planned Parenthood better than you or I will ever understand it." He continued with, "And they do some very good work. Cervical cancer, lots of women's issue, women's health issues are taken care of."

According to The Huffington Post, members of the Republican Party didn't quite like how Trump stands on his belief on the said subject. But he is not backing out on what he thinks about planned parenting and it is looking like it is even doing him a huge favor in gathering votes, especially in South Carolina. The state's voters apparently didn't mind about these rules or tradition that the Republican Party is trying to maintain that they even showed their support to Trump, which eventually made him win the state's primary.

The issue about funding Planned Parenthood has been on for the longest time. For those who are not aware, NPR wrote that the organization is actually not allowed by law to use any money from the government if it is for the purpose of abortion.

Meanwhile, Trump's support on the organization doesn't mean he is pro-abortion. In fact, he made it clear that it is something that he is against of. "Planned Parenthood does a really good job at a lot of different areas. But not on abortion," Trump reacted on Sunday. "So I'm not going to fund it if it's doing the abortion. I am not going to fund it."
