Dubya reveals the moment he became pro-life. There's an important lesson here for all of us.

George W. Bush Tells Matt Lauer About The Grisly Experience That Turned Him Pro-Life
by Hillary Busis | November 8th, 2010 | Mediaite.com

eorge W. Bush’s pro-life stance solidified when he was a teenager in Texas — after his mother suffered a devastating miscarriage and showed him the fetus in a jar, the former president said in an extraordinary interview that airs tonight.

“She said to her teenage kid, ‘Here’s the fetus,’ ” the shockingly candid Bush told NBC’s Matt Lauer, gesturing as if he were holding the jar during the TV chat, a DVD of which The Post exclusively obtained.

“There’s no question that affected me, a philosophy that we should respect life,” said the former president, who had to drive his distraught mother to the hospital at the time.

So here's the takeaway from this little learning moment in life. Do not fuck with Babs. She's mean-as-shit psycho and she will do whatever she needs to take your shit to town. God help me, I'm even starting to feel sympathy for Poppy over this one.

His presidency was an Oedipal opus. He ruined the world. Weak and flawed son of a powerful man and a crazy mother, handed the most powerful position in world history. An epic.

Who does that? I mean, really, what the hell is wrong with her?

but yeah, that's deranged. I'm shocked the hospital allowed her to have it, or that she fished it out of the toilet bowl at home.

That woman is a sociopath. Gagging her after Katrina and keeping her gagged was that family's one gift to America.

That's what Rick Santorum did with HIS family's dead fetus.

Really.

Ew.

Just "Ewwwww!" WTF is it with these sick bastard Repiglickens?

prevent Georgie-boy from getting his girlfriend pregnant and arranging an illegal abortion for her. Pro-life, my ass. Pro-abortions-for-the-rich-only is more like it.

From the excerpts so far, Bush's memoir is so full of BS it should come with an industrial-strength air freshener.

Babs should be ashamed of him.

:shrug:

on the murder of the mentally handicapped when he was Governor.

Pro-life my ass. God, I still hate that fucker.

on the murders of the mentally handicapped by the state when he was Governor.

Pro-life my ass. God, I still hate that fucker.

Didn't they disallow him to mourn his sister's death or something too?

n.t.

when you have a miscarriage, they don't give you the fetus,
the way they might a gallstone. The remains are removed,
and usually incinerated.

Even when the baby is close to full term,
you don't get to take home a souvenir.

I think this is one of those fantasies Bushie got from
the Pro-life movements. They pass all measure of swill as
proof of the dignity of life.

But no way do they send an expelled fetus home with the family.

This sounds more like something Georgie imagined for his book in order to justify or give weight to his "pro-life" credentials (despite having a fondness of war and capital punishment). I have a very hard time believing that this event actually happened.

And if it DID happen, then that just furthers my belief that Babs is batshit insane. Who, other than someone deranged, would do something like that?

That whole tale is disturbing as hell.

:puke:

And many years ago, doctors used to come to your home. They did when I was a kid.

it seems very strange.

and how fucked up is that?

Although I am younger than Barbara Bush, I remember being told, as a prospective mother, that you should save the expelled tissue from a miscarriage that happened at home so it could be examined.

So, while I can understand Mrs. Bush saving it, I cannot understand her showing it to her son.

Who the hell DOES that? I had a miscarriage, the LAST thing on my mind was to either keep it around OR show it to my children. That man is a freak and he is NOT pro-life--I loathe that term for anti-abortion, anti-family planning, forced-birth pukes, he's in a class of his own as a death merchant.

Hey Dubya, how many pregnant Iraqi and Afghani women are dead because of your fucked up wars? How many kids? How many babies? How many young men? How many older folk?

How many women and children are dead because of your global gag rule? You sick fuck.

He's pro-life like a spider is a vegan.

:wtf:

This is probably a bullshit story on DimLeader's part, conflated from stories he's heard about Santorum Family Fetus Playtime.

There is NOTHING that evil goddamned family won't steal!

(in this case, anyway.)


For a family that really wants the child, a miscarriage IS experienced as a tragic death, and I see no reason not to treat the remains with love and respect, as you would do with any body of a loved one. And we used to be much closer to death than we are now. There was a time when most people died at home, when family members were the ones to wash and dress the body and place it in its coffin, when a "wake" meant you literally sat up the night with your deceased relative.

I think rituals like this can serve a valuable purpose, and the sanitized hospital/funeral-home thing isn't necessarily the only right way.

Shoving it in your kid's face to prove a point, though, THAT is fucked up beyond belief. Context is everything.

is pro-life also.

This is one sick man and to think, even aside from the cheating in the elections, millions of Americans actually did vote for him.

She can't have much longer left...

"Respect life" my ass.

He does not care about the value of life after the fetus is born. He would deny education, healthcare and basic standard of living. He would send that born fetus off to serve in a war that has no plans for ending. He would strum a guitar while that now born fetus is drowning.

He is not pro-life - he is Anti-Choice.

'Psychopathic tendencies' comes to mind.

it 'til years later. She certainly never put the stuff in a jar to show us, but then she was a civilized human being who didn't get her jollies frightening and upsetting kids.

in an unnecessary war.

Wasn't Poppy a contributor as well to Planned Parenthood --

the revelation came on Poppy when he decided to run with Reagan or later --

but I think Barbara remained pro-choice, didn't she?

Iow .... this may be another grotesque creation from the mind of W --

Especially when we consider he put a war in place based on lies for oil and $$ --

and killed 1 million Muslims or more in that venture.

But -- oops! -- anyone counting Muslim lives in this "Crusade" by W?

And her kids are all corrupt to the core.

Also, I'm surprised she survived the birth of Jeb, with that enormous melon of his.

He became "pro life" when he figured put that dent in his skull was where Babs stabbed him with a coat hanger. :silly:

Just imagine what kind of right-wing holy relic that would make.

Are you fucking kidding me? Really, are you fucking serious? You respect life? :banghead:

and twisted, if it is true, and even if he is making it up.

Babs is ruthless, but not sentimental. If she ever showed a fetus in a jar to her kids, it was probably just a mean way to scare them into eating their vegetables.

Such a creepy, trashy family. (Like the Tudors, but with fewer public executions and more secret assassinations).

:o

????

The only life he treasures is his own.

Babs is one sick woman, manipulating her teenage kids like that.

Either that, or Dumbya is lying about the whole incident, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Hell, neither did his whole 8 years squatting on the oval carpet and the Bill of Rights
