There doesn't seem to be any evidence that Bush was directly aware of... or participated in... the abortion (which, as Flint also pointed out, took place before the Roe vs Wade decision was made and so, technically, would have been illegal in Texas). It does seem more likely that this was a matter 'handled' by his father's campaign managers (he was in a Senatorial race in 1970 against Bentsen.)

In an e-mail to Bush Watch, KGO-AM talk show host Bernie Ward summarized his Tuesday half-hour on-air phone discussion with Larry Flynt about Flynt's accusations that George W. Bush was "involved in" an abortion in 1970 as follows: Flynt "says that in 1970 Bush's father was running for the Senate against Lloyd Bentsen....that younger Bush was working for daddy...that Bush got a woman pregnant and that she got an abortion in a Houston hospital I believe ...it could have been in Dallas...Flynt says he knows the name of the woman and his investigators have spoken to her...she would not say anything bad about George Bush but Flynt definitively said that she didn't deny having the abortion...Flynt says that he has affidavits from four of her friends confirming that she had the abortion....he says he has another affidavit from the girl friend of daddy Bush's campaign manager...and that she accompanied the woman to the hospital to have the abortion....he says that he knows the name of the doctor who performed the abortion...I asked Flynt if he had evidence that Bush knew that she was going to have an abortion or that he was the father and Flynt said no he didn't have that evidence." 10/26/00

The 'public service' judicial sentencing seemed more 'interesting':

DRUNK but not forgotten: What's amazing is that Dubbaya didn't manage to wipe this off the record like he apparently did his cocaine conviction- he did community service with an inner city Houston "PUSH"-like org. (can you see Shrub doing THAT without coercion). He lied to a TV reporter about his conviction, didn't put it on a jury pool form, and switched his (+ wifes) TX driver license number in a highly unusual move in '96? (only used for identity theft).
