Bush says PP shouldn't get a penny "They're not actually doing women's health issues. They're involved in something way different than that"

7:57 AM - 25 Aug 2015

Think Progress:

The former Florida governor has gotten into hot water before over his comments about the women’s health organization. At an event put on by the Southern Baptist Convention earlier this month, Bush said he wanted to defund Planned Parenthood, saying, “I’m not sure we need a half a billion dollars for women’s health issues.” But though that sounds extreme, his position isn’t that far out of line with most of the Republican field, almost all of whom have called for defunding Planned Parenthood.

Donald Trump, the current Republican frontrunner, has taken a softer approach when talking about Planned Parenthood — saying that though he opposes abortion, Planned Parenthood is an organization that does “good things.” He said many conservative women have told him they support the organization’s work on women’s health care. “A lot of women are helped. So we have to look at the positives also for Planned Parenthood,” he said earlier this month.

But even though Trump has asserted that abortion should be separated from funding for Planned Parenthood — something already mandated by federal law — it is misguided to think that abortion is separate from other reproductive health care. The organization is also more popular than any of the candidates running for the Republican nomination, according to recent polling.

5. He's not stupid.

He's smart enough to know that every dollar he takes away from Planned Parenthood can go right into his pocket.

They loves them some treasury dollars.

3. Jeb! talking women's health?

Yeah, let's hear what Sparky McFirebug has to say about arson. Jeb! is the same governor who got involved in the Terri Schiavo matter, right? He's the one who signed budgets that moved funds from family planning treatment to abstinence only education. He also allowed a nutburger law to be enacted (he didn't have the guts to sign it, but allowed it to become law without his signature) that required single mothers who wanted to give up their children for adoption to publish their sexual histories. To help find the father, of course, not to shame the women. The law was ruled unconstitutional, but that's Jeb!'s regard for women and their health.
