Trump: Shut Down Government Over Planned Parenthood
Donald Trump says that he supports shutting down the government to defund Planned Parenthood in the wake of a series of controversial undercover videos of organization officials.
The Republican presidential contender was asked on The Hugh Hewitt show Monday night if he supported the move. “Well I can tell you this: I would,” Trump replied.
Planned Parenthood has been under attack from Republicans over videos that show officials discussing the sale of fetal tissue for medical research. The pro-abortion rights group argues the videos have been heavily edited and are misleading and that it only accepts compensation to cover expenses.
A procedural vote on the issue was filibustered by Democrats in the Senate on Monday.
