Jeb Bush advocated public shaming of unwed mothers

[Va Lefty]

He's the smart one?!


"As governor of Florida in 2001, Bush had the opportunity to test his theory on public shaming. He declined to veto a very controversial bill that required single mothers who did not know the identity of the father to publish their sexual histories in a newspaper before they could legally put their babies up for adoption. He later signed a repeal of the so-called "Scarlet Letter" law in 2003 after it was successfully challenged in court."

thinks he's too smart and is never going to get caught, and therefore will not be publicly shamed.

5. Of course, the jackass is opposed to abortions.

So, it makes perfect sense that he would favor policies that are likely to result in more of them.
