George W. Bush's pro-life stance solidified when he was a teenager in Texas -- after his mother suffered a devastating miscarriage and showed him the fetus in a jar, the former president said in an extraordinary interview that airs tonight.
"She said to her teenage kid, 'Here's the fetus,' " the shockingly candid Bush told NBC's Matt Lauer, gesturing as if he were holding the jar during the TV chat, a DVD of which The Post exclusively obtained.

Mmmm.....that was really something for his mother to show him that. Not sure how I would have reacted in his place. It is nice to see how humble he is.

That statement bothers me. It hit a personal area. My aunt was very proper and well dressed. She was not white trash. In fact I don't believe in any race trash.
I'm not sure why but that statement really bothered me

Now they will let mothers hold their children if they miscarry before birth, yes I said hold them. They can say their goodbyes and it encourages healing. It's sad to see but with babies coming into the world at 6 months gestation and younger and still surviving why not.

The only white trash is those who would put down mothers who do this. Women form an attachment with babies in utero.

Is your aunt Barbara Bush?

Sorry it offends you but I happen to think it is in poor taste to showcase a miscarried fetus in a mayonnaise jar to your other children.

Many are just a bloodclot in a toilet but that doesn't have the same emotional punch.

This is just a werid story no matter how you look at it.

Who the heck suffers a miscarriage and then has the idea of putting it in a jar? And then showing that jar to their kid?
Biz-arro- Babs. Seriously that is whacked.

Seems to me after an incident like that I'd be wondering what the heck is up with my mom.
It's not like women who have abortions ask for the D&C to take home and put in a jar?!?! To show other family members, let alone offspring?!?
Seriously what the f***???

How he came away with "respect life" is beyond me. (Yes, when I respect things I like to put them in mayo jars and parade them around)
But then again I've never been to keen on his "thought" process.
