Taxpayer dollars should not be going to Planned Parenthood. I think our legislation makes a lot of sense. It says, not only do you not send taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood, but those tax dollars instead go to community health centers — there are a lot more of them than Planned Parenthood clinics; eight times more in the state of Ohio for instance — and they can provide the women’s health needs that are legitimate, that are needed." The statement followed a general budget vote that also continued funding for Planned Parenthood. Portman voted to approve the budget bill as it stood, because "Americans should not have the threat of a government shutdown hanging over their heads," but said he would continue to support the defunding of Planned Parenthood.<sup id="cite_ref-145" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-145">[145]</a></sup> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Presidential_preference">Presidential preference</span></h3> <dl><dd><dl><dd><i>See also: <a href="/Republicans_and_their_declared_positions_on_Donald_Trump" class="mw-redirect" title="Republicans and their declared positions on Donald Trump">Republicans and their declared positions on Donald Trump</a> and <a href="/Republican_reactions_to_2005_Trump_tape" title="Republican reactions to 2005 Trump tape">Republican reactions to 2005 Trump tape</a></i></dd></dl></dd></dl> <ul><li>On October 8, 2016, Portman withdrew his support for Trump after <i>The Washington Post</i> released a 2005 video of Trump making comments about women that were described as "extremely lewd."<sup id="cite_ref-146" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-146">[146]</a></sup> Portman said that he would vote for vice presidential nominee Gov. <a href="/Mike_Pence" title="Mike Pence">Mike Pence</a> because he could not vote for Trump or for Clinton.
