Former first lady Laura Bush has broken with her husband on the premier social issues of his administration and said she backs gay marriage and abortion.
After more than eight years of silence on the controversial issues, Mrs. Bush said in an interview with CNN's Larry KingTuesday, that gay marriage and abortion were points of contention with her husband, former President George W. Bush.
Mrs. Bush in recent weeks has been promoting her memoir "Spoken from the Heart," in which she writes about her life both before and after becoming first lady.
In response to a question about gay marriage, she said, "There are a lot of people who have trouble coming to terms with that because they see marriage as traditionally between a man and a woman. But I also know that, you know, when couples are committed to each other and love each other, that they ought to have, I think, the same sort of rights that everyone has."
Mrs. Bush said she and the ex-president "disagree" on legalizing same-sex marriage.

The last first lady we had that was pro-life was Lady Bird Johnson.

There was an unwritten journalistic rule that only Nixon was allowed to be called an ex-president since he resigned in disgrace. Clearly that rule doens’t apply anymore.

3rd quarter trimester woman was just nominated to the supreme court, Obama just rammed gays in the military in a time of war, AND Laura thinks this is a good time to chime in?

I never would’ve thought that Laura supported same-sex marriage and abortion. It’s terribly disappointing, but as the wife of a former president I don’t know how much weight her opinion on these matters might have with the electorate, though she might influence some people.

This is no surprise at all. I remember her being questioned about Dubya’s Christianity and when they used the term “born again,” she said, “Oh, I wouldn’t go that far.” She always struck me as a liberal. So help me, I don’t know how people can be happy with another person who disagrees on such fundamental issues, issues that IMHO go to the very core of our morality and character.

Maybe influenced by the fallen spirits of this age, all fattened up with the innocent blood of the unborn.

I have no faith that the November Elections will change anything in this Country.

President Reagan what an true icon. His legacy is not inflated nor is it distorted. He will and has gone down in history as one of the one of the greatest Presidents we've ever had the honor of having. May God bless us and bless a future leader with those same qualities. We look for that 'rock solid' character in our leaders and even though Laura Bush was not an elected official, the perception (at least for me) was that she too was rock solid. I had no idea she was for the butchering of babies...especially due to her acclaimed work with the Iraqi & Afghanistani women and how important that those programs were to her. Yes people disappoint but this little revelation of hers has acheived nothing but will hurt her. She's not the kind person she appeared to be afterall.

I have never understood how any woman who has had children could be in favor of abortion. Yep. To support the killing of such a fragile life after giving birth to a child is almost beyond comprehension.

Yeah with our very own Nero fiddling (playing golf or performing his new comedy routine) while it burns.
