Planned Parenthood is not involved in womens health issues, said Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush.
At a town hall in Englewood, Colo., Aug. 25, an audience member asked Bush about his record on womens health, as well as what he would do for womens health, particularly for veterans, as president.
"When I was governor, we expanded those programs through community-based organizations, and thats something I think the federal government needs to continue to do," Bush said. "I, for one, dont think Planned Parenthood ought to get a penny, though. And thats the difference because theyre not actually doing womens health issues. They're involved in something way different than that."
Bush, who cut off state funding for Planned Parenthood as governor, then pivoted to talk about veterans affairs.

This makes about as much sense as his hopping around trying to speak Spanish while defending the term "anchor babies."

Mr Bush....You are wrong...not mistaken, but wrong. I worked for Planned Parenthood when I was in my early 20s and decided to go to nursing school. I just retired after 37 years as an RN. Planned Parenthood is ALL about women's health and the health of their unborn children if they choose to have them.
Your kind of ignorance is dangerous.
