In case you happen to be in Texas, you might want to buy a ticket to hear Barbara P. Bush speak to the annual luncheon of Texas Planned Parenthood. The luncheon will be held in Fort Worth.
I wish I could be there!
Barbara P. is one of the two daughters of former President George W. Bush, who was adamantly opposed to abortion.
Barbara P. is a good friend of Cecile Richards, the national chair of Planned Parenthood, and daughter of the late great Texas Governor Ann Richards.
Bush’s public appearance before the group is striking, given that her father, President George W. Bush, was a staunch abortion opponent during his time as Texas governor and as president.
But it’s not entirely unexpected. Bush’s mother, former First Lady Laura Bush, has expressed support for the legality of abortion on a handful of occasions. The younger Bush, the CEO and co-founder of Global Health Corps, called Planned Parenthood an “exceptional organization” in a June New York Times interview, and attended a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in Paris in October.

Both Bush daughters turned out well….Barbara, a Yale grad, has always been more liberal than a follower in lock step with the Repubs. Her sister is a teacher…YES,
I attribute this to their mom…Laura…who has always seemed the most grounded of the family.

This is great news. Anne Richards is surely smiling.

I’ve wondered if one day we’ll see Barbara P Bush and Chelsea Clinton running against each other for NY Senator.
