Jeb & Bloomberg Philanthropies assisted Planned Parenthood overseas
 [Daily Caller] Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush was one of the directors of a charity that gave tens of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, LifeSiteNews first reported.Named a founding director to the tax-exempt Bloomberg Family Foundation in 2010, Bush sat on the board until the end of 2014 when he began to prepare for his presidential run. Bloomberg Philanthropies announced in March of 2014, while Bush was still on the board, it was giving $50 million to strengthen "reproductive health rights in Burkina Faso, Nicaragua, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda." Skipping to the denial, which proves these venues are monitored closely: The Bush campaign responded to a Daily Caller inquiry with the following email statement: “Governor Bush’s strong record of fostering a culture of life is clear, and he has called on Congress to investigate and defund Planned Parenthood in light of the recent alarming revelations about its practices. During his eight years in office, Governor Bush took measures to protect innocent life by passing a partial-birth abortion ban, fighting for a constitutional amendment requiring parental notifications and doing everything possible to promote adoption. As a board member of Bloomberg Philanthropies, Governor Bush did not vote on or approve individual projects or programs. Governor Bush and Mayor Bloomberg disagree on several policy areas, including Planned Parenthood. They do share a passion for reforming education, which was Governor Bush’s focus on the board. Going directly to the root of the carrying capacity and Amish overpopulation dilemma. "Culture of Life" for some possibly.....selected others, not so much. Margaret Sanger would be so very proud. So Jeb focused on education and closed his ears when the topic was abortion... Update at 1715 CT: the graphic is mine, not Besoeker's. I found it on the web. I thought it was appropriate to portray my own absolute disgust at Planned Parenthood. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-07-31 |
