Evangelical
Laura Bush Favors Gay Marriage,
Abortion
Former first lady Laura Bush is
campaigning
for gay marriage and abortion.
Bush's
comments sparked reaction – and
criticism
– from both sides of the aisle.
Liberal
groups said she should have spoken
out
sooner when she had the White House
as a
bully pulpit. Conservatives defended
the
merits of their arguments despite,
being
seemingly unable to convince the
wife of one
of their movement's most prominent
figureheads. "When the right wing
was
using same-sex couples as election
year
pawns and the president calling for a
cynical constitutional amendment to
deny
people rights, we would have
welcomed
support from the first lady.
Nevertheless,
her speaking out for marriage
equality shows
that more and more Americans realize
all
families need the same rights and
protections," said Michael Cole,
spokesman for the Human Rights
Campaign, a
gay rights group. Conservatives said
Laura
Bush had hinted at her positions in
the past
and that her opinions neither
influenced
policy nor reflected the sentiments
of the
American people.
