Jeb Bush was director of philanthropy that gave tens of millions to Planned Parenthood

Until the eve of his presidential campaign, Jeb Bush was director of a philanthropy that gave tens of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood and financed its advocacy of "unrestricted access to abortion" around the world. The charity also approved money to global abortion providers while he sat on its board.

In 2010, Jeb was named one of the founding directors of the Bloomberg Family Foundation, established as a tax-exempt foundation to advance the vision of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He resigned from the board at the end of 2014 to prepare his presidential campaign.

While a Bush spokesman has responded to concerns by saying that Bush would not have voted on every initiative of the foundation, a pro-life leader told LifeSiteNews it "stretches credibility" that Bush was unaware of the foundation's pro-abortion work, given the centrality of such work to the foundation's mission, and its scope.

LifeSiteNews reached out to Bush for comment, but did not hear back by press time.

$50 million to 'reproductive health' and Planned Parenthood

In March of 2014, the Bloomberg Philanthropies announced a $50 million undertaking to expand "reproductive health," including lobbying foreign nations to loosen restrictions on abortion.

Jeb publicly vetoed Planned Parenthood twice in 2001. One time for 115K and another time for 187K.

At the very same time he privately funded 50 million to planned parenthood.

Let's see so that

50,000,000.00 million - 300,000.00 thousand -------------

That is 49.7 Million Dollars Planned Parenthood received

While Jeb will say and do one thing in public... He does the complete opposite in private.

Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo

Notice how the pundits wonder about the "upper limit" for Trump? How about questioning the "upper limit" of votes Jeb can get? The percentage of voters who would not even consider voting for Jeb Bush because he let Terri Schiavo die so horrifically has got to be huge.

And now we hear about publically taking some funds away from Planned Parenthood while privately going along with them getting millions of dollars? Why doesn't Jeb just slither away and await his Judgement Day?

He disgusts me.

When asked about this, his answer was the equal of “not me officer, I was asleep in the back seat.

Bush and Bloomberg are elitists. Planned Parenthood aims to prevent too many “undesirables”. Any wonder the elites support it?
