Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has distanced himself<\/a> from a super PAC’s planned ads on his behalf attacking Florida Senator Marco Rubio as too pro-life.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Live Action News covered<\/a> reports of a Right to Rise PAC video previewed to a New Hampshire focus group arguing that Rubio’s publicly-declared opposition to abortion even in cases of rape and incest placed him too far out of the mainstream to win a general election.<\/p>\n

During a press conference following an Iowa town hall event, Bush responded to a question about the report by declaring, “I don’t think anybody should attack someone who’s pro-life.” He went on to insist that he was actually “the most pro-life candidate on that stage,” citing his signing of laws funding alternatives to abortion, regulating abortion clinics, and creating “Choose Life” license plates.<\/p>\n

As Live Action covered yesterday, Bush favors rape and incest exceptions for abortion, has said he would not have a pro-life “litmus test” for judicial nominees, and formerly sat on the board of the Bloomberg Foundation, which pledged $50 million to promote abortion worldwide.<\/p>\n

Rubio, meanwhile, is pro-life without exceptions for rape or incest, but has endorsed<\/a> the so-called “morning-after” pill for rape victims, despite its capacity to function as an abortifacient.<\/p>\n

Bush’s central message was that “I’m a better bet” than Rubio for a successful Republican presidential nominee against Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
