"This gal is the ultimate anti-Laura. As I recall, Laura Bush was on bed rest for quite some time to ensure a healthy birth for Barbara and Jenna."
Laura Bush is Pro-Abortion. She said on the TODAY Show a few years back that she believes Roe v Wade should not be overturned. Barbara Bush agrees.

I was referring specifically to Laura's concern for her own children in utero, but your point is well-taken. I wonder if anyone has asked her lately, or if she has expressed her opinion on this subject more recently than your citation. I do find it troubling, as I'm sure you do as well, that some if not many pro-life politicians have pro-choice wives. That has always bothered me; but as long as the candidate is pro-life, what choice do we have? The alternative is much worse.
And yet she supports the ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. I wonder if that was just to give a public show of support to her husband, or if she's come around.
