Surprised Barbara Bush Now Says She's Pro-Choice? Don't Be. She Always Was. - Rewire.News

Not a great read but fascinating! Prescott Bush - father of G.H.W.Bush, grandad of G.W.Bush was treasurer of Planned Parenthood and strong supporter. "The Bush family has a long history of support for Planned Parenthood. Prescott Bush, father of George H. W. Bush (Bush 1) and grandfather of Bush 2 was the treasurer of Planned Parenthood when it launched its first national fundraising campaign in 1947. Birth control being controversial in the period pre- Griswold v. Connecticut (and yes, history obviously repeats itself), Prescott Bush was attacked for his pro-choice position and knocked out of the running for a Senate seat in Connecticut. Writing at SFGate.com in 2005, Vicki Haddock recounts the history: Prescott Bush won a Senate seat two years later, and his son George and daughter-in-law Barbara continued to support Planned Parenthood even after George’s election to Congress from Texas. “In fact,” writes Haddock, “he was such an advocate for family planning that some House colleagues gave him the nickname “Rubbers.””
