Republican presidential contender Jeb Bush says his views toward single mothers "have evolved" since he suggested 20 years ago that they were becoming too accepted by society.
In a 1996 book, Bush and co-author Brian Yablonski expressed concern about changing cultural mores and wrote, regarding unwed motherhood, that there was "no longer a stigma attached to this behavior." This was in a chapter titled "The Restoration of Shame."

Tell that to the poor kids of those “unwed mothers”....IDIOT
So his mistress had a child, did she?
You don’t need a weathervane to see that Jeb Bush blows...
Evolved ALWAYS means ... changed my mind to get elected.
All Hail The Evolving Dauphin!
So he has admitted he has not yet matured with regards to fundamental and core structures that makes a person who they are. This is why there are age minimums to be eligible to become president. Many people never mature even in their 80’s.
Listening to his consultanats again. Unfortunantely, they’re the same guys who advised McCain and Romney.
Buh-bye, Jeb.
The guy has a spine of jello except for Open Borders and Washington’s take over of education where he has a spine of titanium.

Like most in the GOP establishment, he has a spine of jello except when it comes to opposing Conservatives.
Look at Ireland and other places in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th century. Unwed mothers were stigmatized -— but the fathers no so much. Unwed mothers were called “fallen” and we can still hear echoes of the words “fallen woman” but this term is hardly ever applied to men. When is the last time you ever heard of the words “fallen man”?
Unwed mothers at that time took their children to places to be raised as orphans and the children were often told how rotten they were to have been the children born by these women and were raked over the coals growing. Many later testified about what they were put through when they reached adulthood.
People expect women to be more virtuous than men but both men and women can be equally virtuous and there is no scripture that says that women have some power in areas of certain virtues that makes them superior to men in this respect. Men can control their urges as much as women can, as God “is no respecter of persons” as the scriptures say.
Being an unwed mother is the number one cause of poverty in the country.
The Bushs are prime examples of allowing the left to define the culture and debate. RINOs don’t fight for traditions, they just allow themselves to be absorbed by the ever shifting leftward course as pushed by America’s marxist party, the democRATs.
He was right 20 years ago and wrong today.
Nothing better epitomizes the breakdown of the family, than the proliferation of illegitimacy. If Jeb does not understand that--or if he is so unprincipled that he does not care--he is obviously unfit to serve in any position of influence.
