Bush a Law-breaking Pro-Life hypocrite - the Abortion story
I think now's a good time to reminisce about the past, don't you? Especially with regard to smear-campaigning hypocrites. That's how those bastards want to play. So here's a story that ought to come up for air. (I'm not sure if this made it into Larry Flynt's book)

sources:

In the winter of 1971 George W. Bush was dating a woman named Robin Lowman (now Robin Garner). Miss Lowman became pregnant by Bush and he arranged for her to have an abortion - which in the great state of Texas in 1971 was very illegal! Not to mention that George W. is running as a pro-life candidate for the presidency.

The unnamed source of this story, was a friend of Robin Lowman's and the girlfriend of the man who arranged the abortion. His name is Robert Carl Chandler. Chandler is a Bush friend and supporter from way back and he made the arrangements for Miss Lowman's abortion at the Twelve Oaks Hospital in Houston, TX (now the Bayou City Medical Center). The source overheard the call by Mr. Chandler to arrange the abortion and the source visited Robin Lowman at the Twelve Oaks Hospital after the procedure.

The source meanwhile, is afraid of coming forward, saying that she was threatened by Chandler and another Bush friend and supporter named Jim Bath. Bath has longstanding intelligence connections, and played a role in the BCCI scandal. Robin Lowman (now Garner) is married to Jerry Lee Garner who is an FBI agent.

So, that's the story: an illegal back room abortion arranged by the Republican party Presidential candidate who is running on a pro-life ticket.

1. and James Bath arranged for Bush to sell Harken shares to Salem Bin Laden.
Salem Bin Laden was put under arrest for his shady dealings with BCCI thanks to the investigations into BCCI, the terrorists' bank, by a young Senator named John Kerry.

2. Bush Was Pro-Choice In The 1970s
Don't know when he changed. I know George H.W. was Pro-Choice until he was tapped to be Reagan's running mate, I believe George H.W. was also the one to coin the phrase "Voodoo Economics" before he was on the ticket of the man whose economic policies that term was supposed to describe.

Should we send some maple syrup (from Vermont, of course) to Crawford and Kennebunkport?

5. Flynt got the goods
Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 09:51 PM by npincus
Larry Flynt spent months investigating this story for his book, and had what he considered solid evidence, including 4 affidavits from friends of the girl stating the story was true. The girl refused to go public. Here is an excerpt from Larry Flynt's appearance on CNN's Crossfire on October 20, 2000,where he said he had evidence that George W. Bush was "involved in an abortion in Texas" in the early 1970's - when abortions were still illegal:

CNN: When and where are you going to publish information about George W. Bush?

Flynt: When I said that we had the proof, I am referring to knowing who the girl was, knowing who the doctor was that pereformed the abortion, evidence from girlfriends of hers at the time, who knew about the romance and the subsequent abortion. The young lady does not want to go public, and without her willingness, we don't feel that we're on solid enough legal ground to go with the story, because should she say it never happened, then we've got a potential libel suit. But we know we have enough evidence that we believe completely. One of the things that interested us was that this abortion took place before Roe Vs. Wade in 1970, which made it a crime at the time. I'd just like the national media to ask him if abortion is okay for him and his family, but not for the rest of America. We're not looking at it as a big issue, we're looking at it as a situation of people not being told the truth. I think the American people have a right to know everything there is to know about someone running for President.



Just a side note about Larry Flynt's track record, he was RIGHT about:

-Bob Livingston cheating on his wife
-Bob Barr's secret abortion
-Dan Burton's out-of-wedlock child
-Henry Hyde breaking up his mistress's marriage
-Newt Gingrich's secret girlfriend
