So Jeb Bush (who, like every other GOP candidate, is hopping on the “boo Planned Parenthood” train to appeal to the hyper religious voting base) stepped in it a bit the other day when he suggested the government was spending too much money on women’s health. But Jeb wants everybody to know that’s not what he meant:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) says he “misspoke” on Tuesday when he said the federal government is spending too much money on women’s health. What he meant to say, the 2016 candidate explained in a tweet, is that funds for Planned Parenthood should be redirected to other women’s health organizations, “in line with my FL record.”

There’s just a little problem. When Jeb Bush worked toward, and succeeded in stripping away much of Planned Parenthood’s funding, he diverted those funds toward policies that have proven to create more teen pregnancy and more abortions, namely abstinence-only programs:

The St. Petersburg Times reported in January 2003: Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida lost $124,000 last year from its family planning division. Bush diverted the funds to abstinence-only educational programs. Now teens who use Planned Parenthood have a $15 co-pay and must pay $7 for birth control. “We do charge the teens now,” said LaWanda Walker, public affairs coordinator for Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida. “That we really, really hate. You need to be able to have services and make it convenient.” Bush’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The American Medical Association opposes abstinence-only education. So does the American Psychological Association. To quote them:

“Both comprehensive sex education and abstinence only programs delay the onset of sexual activity. However, only comprehensive sex education is effective in protecting adolescents from pregnancy and sexually transmitted illnesses at first intercourse and during later sexual activity. In contrast, scientifically sound studies of abstinence only programs show an unintended consequence of unprotected sex at first intercourse and during later sexual activity. In this way, abstinence only programs increase the risk of these adolescents for pregnancy and sexually transmitted illnesses, including HIV/AIDS,” said psychologist Maureen Lyon, PhD, Chair of the committee that produced the report.

So Jeb Bush ignored the experts, took money away from comprehensive women’s health, and devoted it to programs that anybody who’s read any of the research on sex ed knows exacerbates a number of problems (problems which create a greater need for Planned Parenthood, ironically).

If you want a President with a record of ignoring the experts and assigning funds to what has been proven to not work, Jeb Bush is your man. Personally, I’m still all about Trump in 2016.
