Strongly disagree
Yes, as long as funding is not used for abortion procedures

He has rejected the compromise of funding Planned Parenthood for non-abortion services, maintaining that any government support indirectly subsidizes abortion.

Very strongly disagree
Yes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals

He has argued that other clinics can provide these services without performing abortions, and that the organization's abortion services are inseparable from its overall mission. He has specifically criticized the claim that Planned Parenthood is essential for cancer screenings and other health services.
