Donald Trump Stands By Planned Parenthood-- Except On Abortion
Summary:
This article explains how Donald Trump does not support the idea of abortion, and why he does not support it anymore. Trump explains how he does support Planned Parenthood and will be funding it, he just won't be funding abortion. This article quotes Trump saying "I have many, many friends who are women who understand Planned Parenthood better than you or I will ever understand it." Trump used to be for abortion in 1999 and said he was "pro-choice in every respect." Now, he says that he is not for abortion because his friends that were going to have an abortion, had their kid and he grew up to be a a great child.
Analysis:
This article relates really well back to unit two because it is about political beliefs. The article expresses Trump's beliefs and opinions on the subject of abortion really well. However, I think that his idea of pro-life isn't smart because women who are pregnant from rape, incest, or if they are risking their own life to have this kid, don't have a say in if they want to keep the child or not. I think it should be up to the mom and not up to a president. I think that how the federal government finances abortion is the way we should keep continuing.
