"Republicans" toon:

[Hekate]

8. One of the more disgusting things about GHW Bush was the way that he, a former donor to PP, ...

… decided to pander to Ronald Reagan’s base by throwing Planned Parenthood under the bus.

1991 — and people who still thought we could make peace with the Republicans would say, “Oh but the women of the family are all pro-choice, and they will moderate their men’s policies,” wink-wink nudge-nudge. This was said of Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and Dubya’s wife — and they most certainly could not or did not.

Time was, patrician Republicans could support Planned Parenthood as just another charity to help the poor — but that was before the culture wars began, and they saw they needed to play along.

Boys throw stones at frogs in play, but the frogs die in earnest.
