ABORTION CLAIM HITS PRESIDENT Feb 18 2004
By Mark Ellis, Foreign Editor


PORNOGRAPHER Larry Flynt says he has "nailed down" his claims George Bush, a pro-life campaigner, arranged for a girlfriend to have an abortion in the 1970s.

Flynt, 61, a failed California governor candidate said: "I've talked to the woman's friends. I've tracked down the doctor who did the abortion, and the Bush people who arranged for the it. I've got the story nailed."

He said he would publish his claims in a book at the height of the election season.

Kerry, 60, has survived two failed smear attempts. Last night he launched a scathing attack on Bush's treatment of September 11 emergency workers.

"I'm tired of these politicians who show up when the bagpipes are wailing. And then go back to Washington and forget," he said.

Bush abortion smear as mud flies
Phillip Coorey 19feb04

PRESIDENT Bush faced an extraordinary claim last night that he once paid for a girlfriend's abortion.

<snip>While Mr Bush and Senator Kerry have so far steered clear of personal attacks, their unofficial supporters are stooping deep into the gutter.

<snip>Now paralyzed porn king Larry Flynt is preparing to publish equally dubious claims that the pro-life Mr Bush once made a girlfriend have an abortion.


<snip>Now Flynt, whose last political foray was a ham fisted run for Californian governor, plans to publish the abortion as fact in an upcoming book.

"I got the story nailed," he said. "I've talked to the woman's friends, I've tracked down the doctor who did the abortion, I tracked down the Bush people who arranged for the abortion."
The trouble for Senator Kerry is the Republicans, who have their backs to the wall at the moment, seize on such material as sanctioned mud-slinging by the Kerry camp. <snip>
