Jeb Bush: Planned Parenthood isn't involved in women's health

Planned Parenthood is not involved in women’s health issues, said Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush.

At a town hall in Englewood, Colo., Aug. 25, an audience member asked Bush about his record on women’s health, as well as what he would do for women’s health, particularly for veterans, as president.

"When I was governor, we expanded those programs through community-based organizations, and that’s something I think the federal government needs to continue to do," Bush said. "I, for one, don’t think Planned Parenthood ought to get a penny, though. And that’s the difference because they’re not actually doing women’s health issues. They're involved in something way different than that."

Bush, who cut off state funding for Planned Parenthood as governor, then pivoted to talk about veterans affairs.

His remains must be spinning so fast they're on the verge of turning into a perpetual motion machine.

going as he'd expected.

This makes about as much sense as his hopping around trying to speak Spanish while defending the term "anchor babies."

to tell someone that they were "mistaken" when they needed to be corrected no matter how ignorant they sound.

Mr Bush....You are wrong...not mistaken, but wrong. I worked for Planned Parenthood when I was in my early 20s and decided to go to nursing school. I just retired after 37 years as an RN. Planned Parenthood is ALL about women's health and the health of their unborn children if they choose to have them.

Your kind of ignorance is dangerous.

just keep harping on it over and over and over and eventually, (a lot of the) people will believe it.
