George W. Bush was a pro-life president, but one of his daughters just surprised many by praising Planned Parenthood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a piece over the weekend<\/a>, the New York Times\u2019 Phillip Galanes sat down with both Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards and Barbara Bush (above, left), who runs a nonprofit called Global Health Corps.<\/p>\n

GHC\u2019s mission<\/a> includes helping connect young people to positions in a wide range of fields worldwide, both within the health industry and various fields that support it. During the interview, Bush said:<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s hard to know how you fit in if you\u2019re not a doctor or nurse. If we can demystify that and create channels into Planned Parenthood and other exceptional organizations, then we\u2019ll have an army of people working to solve health problems.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Planned Parenthood\u2019s business is commonly equated with health care. However<\/a>, the practice of abortion contradicts the Hippocratic Oath\u2019s call to respect and preserve life, and even abortionists have<\/a> admitted<\/a>\u00a0that mainstream health providers often stigmatize them. From 2009 to 2013, the organization\u2019s actual health services such as prenatal care, breast cancer exams, and pap smears declined<\/a> between 41% and 58%. The abortion giant\u2019s claims to provide mammograms<\/a> have also been debunked.<\/p>\n

\"DefundAd-400b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood is also at the center of an ongoing scandal over breaking a variety of laws<\/a> related to its sale of organs from aborted babies. Richards has made a variety of false claims<\/a> in defense of her organization.<\/p>\n

Barbara\u2019s mother and grandmother, former First Ladies Laura Bush and the elder Barbara Bush, also diverged<\/a> from the 43rd<\/sup> president\u2019s position. The former wrote, \u201cWhile cherishing life, I have always believed that abortion is a private decision, and there, no one can walk in anyone else\u2019s shoes\u201d; while the latter called abortion \u201ca personal thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
