Carly: Trump Wrong on Planned Parenthood

Published August 12, 2015 4:50pm ET



Carly Fiorina says she disagrees with her Republican rival for president Donald Trump on the issue of Planned Parenthood. Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday that “we have to look at the positive also for Planned Parenthood” and said abortions were just a “small part” of what the organization provides. The GOP frontrunner had also suggested keeping most taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, despite earlier saying the group should be defunded.

In an interview with THE WEEKLY STANDARD, Fiorina knocked Trump’s position. “I profoundly disagree with that statement by Donald Trump,” said the former Hewlett-Packard CEO. “They need to be defunded. There are many organizations that provide the kind of services that he mentioned. Planned Parenthood must be defunded.”
