Jeb Bush: Abortions Should Make Women 'Repentant'

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush suggested this week that women should repent after having an abortion if they wanted God to forgive them.

During an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, host Martha MacCallum asked the GOP hopeful if he was surprised by Pope Francis' new rules that would allow priests to forgive women who have had abortions.

"I think we need to have a society that protects life from the beginning to end, and we should be a repentant society for sure," he explained. "And mercy should be at the heart of everything we do."

I share the feeling here, but there is no difference between the pope and him.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/09/01/pope-francis-to-allow-all-priests-to-forgive-women-who-have-had-abortions-and-are-contrite/


During the upcoming “Jubilee of Mercy” year, he wrote, all priests would be empowered to “absolve the sin of abortion” for those who seek forgiveness with “a contrite heart.”

women's reproductive choices. They complain about providing birth control, they complain about women who terminate unwanted pregnancies, they complain about providing shelter, food and medical care to children born into poverty. They need to just butt out and let women make their own decisions.

He'll be repenting of every evil act he's ever even thought about doing if he wants one bad enough.

abortions as if all women got pregnant miraculously, without any input from a man.

Makes me think that castrating all men might not be such a bad idea. Or at least public shaming of all men who are responsible for all those abortions, because, listen up guys, no matter what you want to think, the little ladies didn't get to the abortion clinic without a big push form you.

And no, I do not believe that men should get any kind of a say in this, although generally speaking if there's a committed relationship happening, the women isn't quite as likely to make a totally unilateral decision here.

And as someone else already pointed out, they don't want us to have contraception, they don't want to provide pre-natal care, they don't want to give any sort of assistance once the baby is here. But they do want to decide for us that we must have the unwanted baby.
