Jeb’s the smart Bush, huh?

Couldn’t prove it by the things he says. The latest of his uninformed remarks is this:

“I, for one, don’t think Planned Parenthood ought to get a penny though, and that’s the difference because they’re not actually doing women’s health issues,” the Republican presidential candidate said.

Say what, Jeb?

You know, even if Planned Parenthood’s business was 100 percent abortions rather than the three percent it actually is, wouldn’t they still be counted as women’s health issues? Men don’t get abortions, do they?

In fact, of course, 97 percent of Planned Parenthood’s business is made up of women’s health issues other than abortions, such things as Pap tests, breast exams, cancer screening, birth control information and contraception services, and STI and HIV testing. See page 19 of its annual report for a breakdown. If you say, wait a minute, those are their own numbers, well, yeah, but who else is going to count them? PolitiFact comes up with the same percentage.

I’m afraid Jeb Bush is no smarter than his older brother, which ought to terrify anyone interested in the solvency and continued health of the United States.
