Can you provide a source for that?
Actually I researched the quote and found the strongest statement from Laura Bush, and a milder conditional statement from GWB.
"No, I don't think it should be overturned," Mrs. Bush told NBC's "Today Show" when asked about the high court's decision, Roe vs. Wade.
The Bush team refused to comment on the first lady-to-be's statements.

However;
"Bush did not push for a constitutional amendment to ban abortion, even though he supports one except in cases of rape or incest, or to protect the life of the mother. Bush said he didn't believe there was enough public support for such a move."
Which supports my recollection that Bush said he would not try to overturn Roe Vs Wade because it was not the time to do it.
I also find the "except in cases of rape or incest" to be morally inconsistant. If abortion is murder then it is murder. It's not the baby's fault it was conceived through a rape or incest.
The President has always said that he would not overturn R. v W.
But, he pledged to change hearts and minds so that women did not seek abortion. The President backed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban, the prenatal protection act and the born alive act. Most of all, he put 2 justices on the SCOTUS who *can* overturn R. v W.
Rudy thinks abortion is a viable “choice,” without limit.
On the other hand, I’m a bit encouraged that Ted Olsen has worked to assure us that Rudy would nominate Constitutionally Conservative judges.
