I bet that if you look at how this occurred, the PP spending was in an omnibus budget bill that President Bush could either sign or veto and shut down the government.
This is being pushed as if President Bush personally decided to “give” PP 2.2 Billion dollars.
From the article:
Q: Did you know that over eight years Bush has signed into law legislation giving Planned Parenthood at least $2.2 billion, according to James W. Sedlak, a Planned Parenthood expert who works for American Life League?
See the sleight of hand here “Signed into law” becomes “Bush throws $2.2 Billion down the Planned Parenthood rathole”
President Bush did not have a line item veto. He could not decide to simply veto PP dollars.
The story’s basic premise is misleading.
I’d agree with you except for what Karen Handel published about Karl Rove at Susan G Komen and for the Bush family legacy with the founding of Planned Parenthood.
IOW, if George W Bush was such a strong Christian, he would have made a big deal out of this.
As has President Trump.
Many a lying GOPe has hidden behind the veil of political logistics.
Now that we are free of that sort of Uniparty illusion, let’s not give George W any slack. Any normal Christian would make a VERY BIG DEAL out of funding Planned Parenthood, however it was accomplished.
And let’s not forget, recent comments about how dead-baby-parts-for-sale PP fundraising began in the 1990’s.
Bush knew. And I pray that the Lord reveals every detail for public scrutiny so Americans can know the absolute truth about this and every other lying GOPe situation.
I’m no Bush fan, but without researching it, I wouldn’t doubt if you were right.
