Here's where Clinton and Trump share a sliver of common ground. While Donald Trump only supports abortion in cases of rape, incest, and where the mother's life is endangered, he has also expressed support for funding Planned Parenthood as long as they are not performing abortions. In a recent interview with Meet the Press, Trump said that Planned Parenthood "does some very good work" at combating women's health issues like cervical cancer. His view differs vastly from the remaining candidates and the majority of the Republican party, who would completely defund Planned Parenthood (they have already attempted to defund it). He also believes more companies should provide on-site child care, he said at a rally in Iowa.
Clinton, in line with the Democratic party, supports a woman's right to choose, and she has been a longtime champion of women's rights. Trump and Clinton both agree on equal pay for women who do the same job as their male counterparts, and Clinton would also fight for federally mandated maternity and paternity leave. Clinton has also called for universal preschool for every American child and says she would provide federal funding for states that don't already have a program in place.
