Laura Bush Supports Gay Marriage, Abortion
abcnews.com ^ | May 12, 2010 | RUSSELL GOLDMAN

Former first lady Laura Bush has broken with her husband on the premier social issues of his administration and said she backs gay marriage and abortion.

After more than eight years of silence on the controversial issues, Mrs. Bush said in an interview with CNN's Larry KingTuesday, that gay marriage and abortion were points of contention with her husband, former President George W. Bush.

Mrs. Bush in recent weeks has been promoting her memoir "Spoken from the Heart," in which she writes about her life both before and after becoming first lady.

In response to a question about gay marriage, she said, "There are a lot of people who have trouble coming to terms with that because they see marriage as traditionally between a man and a woman. But I also know that, you know, when couples are committed to each other and love each other, that they ought to have, I think, the same sort of rights that everyone has."

Mrs. Bush said she and the ex-president "disagree" on legalizing same-sex marriage.

A “repubic” the media can throw in Conservative’s faces that’s pro abortion and Sodomite marriage?

Are you that dim?

The War aint the font agenda, The economy aint the front agenda.

Nope, It’s social matters.

Lighten up folks. Soon it will come out that one of her daughters had an abortion, and the other one’s a lesbo. Understandably, she would disagree with her morally superior husband out of love for her daughters.

No Bush was ever pro-life. They always pandered to the religious right. Some here refuse to admit they were “had”. I won’t mention any names, because I don’t have time for a soap opera episode with ohioWfan. Oops..did I say that out loud? Sorry Maam.

CLint N. Sukhs - I’m taking a “mental health” break for a couple of weeks - was planning to start today, ahem, so feel free to ping wagglebee.

I just need a break from the onslaught! Will be back with renewed vigor in a couple of weeks.

If you see something just ping us both and then when I’m back I’ll see ‘em too.

Thank you!

She is cowardly and does not want to offend the women’s “right to choose” even though she would not choose that. Just doesn’t have love...

You are in error there Renee. She had great impact on many many women in third world countries and here as well. By these statements, those young women will believe it’s ok to kill their baby. Laura Bush will now have blood on her hands.

Well we wouldn't want to punish her further with a baby, or God forbid, force the morality of the Republican Platform (her husband pledged to uphold) on her. Anyone have a bucket I could hurl in?

I haven’t been on the Sodomy threads in years except to ZOT some pro-perversion trolls now and then. This one just pi**ed me off.

Good to see you my old FRiend.

Laura W. Bush has grown wealthy off the largesse of Republican voters, and now she admits she was never one of them. They should at least NOT buy her little book.

Well I intend on writing a letter to her. We've been betrayed by a seemingly ‘normal’ & ‘caring’ facade and it's reprehensible imo.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. Her husband turned out to be quite liberal so why shouldn’t she?
