Why host Laura Bush?

Why host Laura Bush?

An ad in a recent issue of The Alabama Baptist features Laura Bush as the special speaker at a fundraiser to benefit Children’s of Alabama. The children’s hospital is a worthy organization, but it is ironic that Laura Bush would be scheduled to speak since she endorses a woman’s right to choose (abortion). She also disbelieves that marriage is only between a man and a woman. 

The fundraiser is titled, “A Night of Hope.” Her position on the life of the unborn certainly doesn’t give hope to them.

EDITOR’S NOTE — According to news reports and an interview with CNN and another with CBS, Laura Bush supports gay “marriage,” stating, “When couples are committed to each other and love each other, that they ought to have … the same sort of rights that everyone has.” She also was quoted as believing abortion should “remain legal because I think it’s important for people, for medical reasons and other reasons.”
