The Democratic Party and their thousand-strong press secretaries (national media) are pouncing on 2016 Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush over his recent statement to religious conservatives in Nashville, TN., that he wasn’t sure Americans needed to spend “need half a billion dollars for women’s health issues.”
You know where this is going.Republicans hate women, and continue to press their “war on women.”
Here is what Bush said”

Bush walks back his remarks:
“With regards to women’s health funding broadly, I misspoke, as there are countless community health centers, rural clinics, and other women’s health organizations that need to be fully funded.”
Too late. Democrats, along with the media, and Hillary Clinton, have all taken Bush out to the woodshed over the remark, and have refused to acknowledge that Bush probably just made a broad statement about funding women’s health issues, when he should have specifically stated that he questioned the millions of taxpayer dollars going to fund Planned Parenthood.

This all stems back to the five undercover videos that Center for Medical Progress has released, outing Planned Parenthood’s “fundraising” practice of procuring aborted baby body parts. Not to sound to defensive of Bush, but I believe most Americans, who know about these recent videos, understand what Bush was referring to. Regardless, Bush’s gaffe will drive the news media for weeks, if not for months to come. Unlike all of those aborted babies that have been tweezed apart by Planned Parenthood, the fictitious and Democrat-created Republican “War on Women” has just been given another fighting chance. Here Bush countered Clinton on Twitter:
.@HillaryClinton what’s absolutely, unequivocally wrong is giving taxpayer $ to an org whose practices show no regard for lives of unborn
