Bush daughter headlines Planned Parenthood fundraiser
Texas Tribune ^ | 2-24-17 | Abby Livingston

Barbara Pierce Bush, the daughter of former President George W. Bush, will be the keynote speaker at Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas' annual Fort Worth luncheon.

Barbara Pierce Bush, the daughter of former President George W. Bush, will headline a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in North Texas on Wednesday.   She will be the keynote speaker at Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas' annual Fort Worth luncheon, helping to raise money for an organization that provides an array of reproductive and sexual health services, including abortions.

Bush's public appearance before the group is striking, given that her father, President George W. Bush, was a staunch abortion opponent during his time as Texas governor and as president. 

But it's not entirely unexpected. Bush's mother, former First Lady Laura Bush, has expressed support for the legality of abortion on a handful of occasions. The younger Bush, the CEO and co-founder of Global Health Corps, called Planned Parenthood an "exceptional organization" in a June New York Times interview, and attended a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in Paris in October.

The lead donor of the luncheon is Sid R. Bass, the prominent Fort Worth billionaire.

As a conservative, my reflection over time regarding both Bush presidencies has diminished my opinion of them as leaders. I don’t know that this country would have had to deal with 8 years of Clinton and 8 years Obama, both of which did great damage, without the “compassionate conservatism” of the Bushes. No more.

She also gave full throated support for homosexual marriage.

Rumors are that she is bisexual. It would explain a lot.

Some three or four years ago she dated a weird guy, maybe still does. I forgot who he was except he disliked her father.

Reporters should ask pro-abortion speakers if they support abortion because it disproportionally impacts african-americans.

I have never heard the question asked.

Globalist family; globalist eugenics. It’s what the Bushes do. Disgraceful.

Now the Bush Twins can have FREE ABORTIONS. I wonder how many they already have had? Maybe Laura dumped a few babies too. And sold their hearts for scrap...

They do not provide an array of reproductive health services.

They do abortions.

Everything else they provide contact info to other groups for.

After all that is publicly-known about PP, and this soulless wretch still lends her name to it. SMH.

Her grandmother and mother were supporters of abortionists. The Bush presidencies were for the furtherance of the NWO!

Invading Iraq and hunting down Saddam Hussein was a monumental mistake.

"I am Barbara Bush, and I am a New Yorker for marriage equality,' she says in the brief message, sponsored by an advocacy group. 'New York is about fairness and equality. And everyone should have the right to marry the person that they love."

W was never pro life. HE WAS A LIAR AND A HYPOCRITE.

Another uniparty useful idiot shows his true colors.

BTW, is this the Bush daughter that was indoctrinated at Yale?

The Panamanian graffiti artist or the Franco-Malagasy club owner? Probably the graffiti guy. It was her grandfather that he really hated. Anyway, I'm glad I'm only finding out about all this now and not having to follow it day by day, week by week.

The Bushes may not be so different from other rich Texans nowadays. The idea some people have that their problems will be solved by getting their state or some state they hate to secede is a stupid pipe dream. Wherever you live there are people like this and they have more access to power and high office than you or I do.

However, this statement:

“... provides an array of reproductive and sexual health services ...”

IS A BIG FAT LIE. THEY DO ABORTIONS ..!!!!! PERIOD!
