Hillary Clinton pounces on Jeb Bush's unscripted gaffe

Source: Business Insider

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Tuesday seized on comments from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), a potential general-election rival, about the women's health and family-planning organization Planned Parenthood.

The former Secretary of State criticized Bush in a tweet over his calls to defund the organization, following the release of controversial videos showing a company representative discussing harvesting fetal tissue from aborted fetuses.

Bush's comments about Planned Parenthood also included an apparently aside in which he said he was "not sure we need half-billion dollars for women’s health issues," a reference to the federal funding Planned Parenthood receives.

@JebBush: You are absolutely, unequivocally wrong.

The news media keeps reporting these lies about Planned Parenthood without pointing out that it is all completely false. Good for Hillary for taking a stand for truth and women's health. I love the T-shirt the Hillary campaign is selling with the phrase "Women's Rights are Human Rights".

I never really cared for them as a kid because I always ended up at the bottom, but all five Democratic candidates should completely pile on jebbie for this one.
