He simply is a tool for the rich oligarchy who hate women, and don't want to be bothered with women's issues.

32. PP prevents over 345,000 abortions a year Jeb. Here's how
Thu Aug 27, 2015, 09:59 PM
Aug 2015

"...from Nicholas Kristoff’s article in NYT…"This in a country where half of all pregnancies are unintended, where 30 percent of American teenage girls become pregnant by age 19.

The Guttmacher Institute, which studies reproductive health, calculates that Title X family planning centers (PP) prevent about one million unintended pregnancies a year, of which 345,000 would have ended in abortion. It says that every year Title X clinics avert some 53,000 cases of chlamydia and 8,800 cases of gonorrhea, and save the lives of 1,100 women who would otherwise die of cervical cancer.

In other words, Title X prevents an abortion about once every 90 seconds...."
This should be shoved in the faces of all those ignorant or misinformed senators who voted to defund Planned Parenthood as they have no idea how much good this organization provides…”
Good ole Jeb is as uninformed as ever too lazy to fact check the talking points he's being read...just like all republicans.

Jeb is just trying to appeal to the vast numbers of ignoramuses that make up the Republican Party.

They picture every abortion as a doctor ripping a viable full term screaming baby from the mother's womb.

Given his predisposition in blurting out misogynistic remarks, he probably thinks women's health issues are limited to diet sodas, cellulite creams, bikini waxes, boob jobs and facelifts.

You really do have to assume both lying and stupid. What's particularly funny about this is that it was his grandfather, the notorious fascist Prescott Bush, who was one of the founders of PP.

15. Bush Crime Inc. ignorant of Women’s Health Care, not at all

Bush Crime Inc. ignorant of Women’s Health Care, not at all… in fact the Bush family has been imbedded deeply in Health Care issues connected to the United Health Care Company through monopolies like the Union Pacific railroad, AARP, and the dark side of subcontractors with Cheney Haliburton mercenaries in the past millennium, likely the family heritage goes farther back before Auschwitz Nazi death camp.

These Bush family crime characters are privy to Health and extermination making money at both ends. Ground Zero victims and New York City first responders know the feeling of being left behind.

Many can argue that the Twin Towers, 911 was a vertical replay of Auschwitz, planned by doing nothing which essentially held the door open aiding extermination of innocent people as was accomplished in world war two, and today to engage in war profiteering.

My personal experience will exposed a real political connection, and retaliation or retribution after an injury and during a conversation with a Union Pacific railroad Health Care manager, not to talk about politics.

It was something so difficult to resist, not talking about, Russ Bakers book “Family of Secrets about the Bush dynasty America’s invisible family” with fellow railroad employees’. Obviously the Safety Service Management unit sent a clear message across the system when they fired me.

So far there is an OSHA claim moving forward to the labor department, it should be interesting to see what the determination will be. I have a pdf case file of the claim and will make it public by June 2016.

and that is his only concern about any organization, what potential use they can be to him and the rest of the men in the country.

In other words, he doesn't have a uterus, so any healthcare regarding one is unnecessary.

George Bush was the worst, dumbest President that ever served. Look at what he did to this nation in 8 years. 2 wars, hurricane Katrina, along with the criminal politicians in LA. Tax cuts. biggest debt ever, biggest government ever. G. Bush was the worst and we wonder why he is so silent. Jeb Bush is acting and saying worst stuff then George Bush did. When will this nation wake up to eh Republicans as the real threat to our nation, as H. Clinton suggested. They are the terrorist we need to be concerned about.
Thus far the press is not fact checking what they say. The press did the same with G. Bush. Our press is the worst ever.
And our newspapers write so many stories that are not fact, they are like Fox News. Loosen up voters and get smart on what is being told to you, cause its mostly LIES.

Therefore women's health issues are extraneous to "real" health issues -- which are men's issues and those that women share with men. They see women's health as a subset of men's health; anything outside that definition is not a "real" health problem.

Gloria Steinem defined feminism as "Anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men."
