Bush daughter headlines Planned Parenthood fundraiser
Texas Tribune ^ | 2-24-17 | Abby Livingston

Barbara Pierce Bush, the daughter of former President George W. Bush, will be the keynote speaker at Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas' annual Fort Worth luncheon.

Barbara Pierce Bush, the daughter of former President George W. Bush, will headline a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in North Texas on Wednesday.   She will be the keynote speaker at Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas' annual Fort Worth luncheon, helping to raise money for an organization that provides an array of reproductive and sexual health services, including abortions.

Bush's public appearance before the group is striking, given that her father, President George W. Bush, was a staunch abortion opponent during his time as Texas governor and as president. 

But it's not entirely unexpected. Bush's mother, former First Lady Laura Bush, has expressed support for the legality of abortion on a handful of occasions. The younger Bush, the CEO and co-founder of Global Health Corps, called Planned Parenthood an "exceptional organization" in a June New York Times interview, and attended a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in Paris in October.

The lead donor of the luncheon is Sid R. Bass, the prominent Fort Worth billionaire.

How did she do that? I thought “they” were always after the other twin — Jenna. Barbara was always portrayed as Miss Goody Two Shoes. Jenna was the party girl.

If I remember correctly, Bush Senior was Pro-Abortion before he was against. Brought up during his Presidential campaigns.

Prescott Bush, her great grandpappy was Planned Parenthood’s first treasurer, so she’s just keeping alive a rich family tradition.

The only professed pro-life immediate Bush family member was George W. Bush, her father. Her mother never professed a pro-life stance, she was quiet on the matter until after her husband left office and then was pro-choice as they prefer to say. Then her grandparents, GHW Bush and Barbara, being members of the elitist, old monied, blue blood, country clubber Republicans, who don’t profess being pro-abortion loudly, however are for it given the unwashed masses need to be “controlled” if you get the picture.

The Bushes have all been frauds for the conservative movement. Not one good apple in that basket!

The #NeverTrumpers latest shot across the bow.
Let the daughters of Laura Bush do as they please, they are grown girls now.
The Bushes are a part of the Olde Guard GOPe.
Now we know who to ignore and walk away from.

My guess is Prescott Bush III does not approve of such intra-party shenanigans as it reduces what remains of his chances to rise. Even from the sick bed, George Sr. remains the bitter patriarch, leading his dwindling flock ever nearer to the cliff’s edge.

The picture of BARBARA in the article is very CREEPY. It looks like she is leading a Satanic ritual.
