Did Trump Bankroll Planned Parenthood Abortionists?

Published



After it was revealed this summer that Planned Parenthood was selling the organs and body parts of aborted human beings to biotech companies, Donald Trump said he wasn’t sure if the organization should lose its federal funding. He even went out of his way to praise Planned Parenthood’s good work. Meet the Press host Chuck Todd found Trump’s stance interesting, so he asked Trump if he had ever been a Planned Parenthood donor. “It’s possible,” Trump replied.

TODD: You were pretty–you were somewhat defending Planned Parenthood earlier this week. It struck me that there was a time Planned Parenthood was not seen as a very political organization. Were you ever a donor to Planned Parenthood? TRUMP: I don’t know. I mean, I don’t know– TODD: It’s possible? TRUMP: But it’s possible. I give to so many, Chuck. I give to so many organizations over the years. Hundreds of millions of dollars. And so I don’t know. I don’t think so. But it’s possible somewhere– TODD: It wouldn’t have surprised you if you had? TRUMP: Well, it could be.

It’s well known that Trump has given to liberal politicians in the past, but donations to Planned Parenthood in recent years would completely undermine the GOP frontrunner’s supposed and quite recent pro-life conversion.
