The Republican War On Women - Jeb! Bush Edition



Latest in the line of Bushes born with a silver foot in their mouth, John Ellis "J.E.B.!" Bush gives his "thoughts" on women's health funding, displaying for Beltway pundits his "talent" and that he's "well-qualified" to be President:
"You could take dollar for dollar -- although I'm not sure we need a half-billion dollars for women's health issues -- but if you took dollar for dollar, there are many extraordinary fine community health organizations that exist to provide quality care for women on a wide variety of health issues," Bush said. "But abortion should not be funded by the government."  (our emphasis)
Pssst.  Someone tell Jeb! that federal funding of abortion is already blocked, thanks to the Hyde Amendment.

Feel free to contrast this with the position of Hillary Clinton and almost all other Democrats (=cough= not "Democrats" like Manchin and Donnelly =cough=).
