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.

Big deal. She’s not in the WH anymore and she can’t change anything.
Oh ok, it’s hard to gauge responses on here sometimes and I thought maybe I was projecting myself to be a know it all.
I’m glad we agree!
Yes we may.

“I think I will just continue to ride the spiral out.’
I know what you mean. And where the spiral goes, God only knows.
She is enabling the other side.
Why?
Blessings on their hearts
I noticed her book yesterday at the local store I shop at. I was thinking that the book might be one my wife and I would want to read. I guess not.
How is she enabling them?
I agree... I’ve lost all of the admiration and respect I had for her.
Nite my!
More daggers from the Bush family, anything to kill & divide the Republican party. Thanks GW & GHW for your failed presidencies and paving the way for a socialist radical pig like 0bozo to be usurper-in-chief. As for Laura Bush & the Bush women, you’re a bunch of liberal turds who don’t have a clue about anything, least of all abortion and gay marriage. Too bad your mothers didn’t believe more strongly in abortion.
Well lookie here, W married an impostor. I should have known the “new tone” had a deeper meaning.
Laura is dead to me.
By progressing the abortion, gay agenda, even as Obama has that on the front burner.
You did to me. And I believe you are right. I can say I know a few, also.
>> how any woman who has had children could be in favor of abortion.
Yeah, it’s baffling.
Even at the earliest stages of pregnancy, the human is defined, taking on the inevitable form of an identifiable child but only as a function of time - it is always the same human, the same child, the same individual. The eye and hair color, gender, freckles, race, and every other feature is for the most part already determined.
Even if one refuses to accept a human is being killed through abortion, one cannot deny that a unique human signature is being destroyed in the process.
She is being trotted out to drum up anti-Bush sentiment, as if that is going to stop the Tea Party and the RINO safari from happening. Remember it was calculated moves by this family that got us where we are today.
She is probably the reason why George did not go down the Florida and physically carry Teri Shiavo out of her death trap.
dead on the money.
Did anyone ask her during those years in the WH? NO! So she isn’t a fake.
