Wow how far we’ve come.

In Tuesday’s State of the Union address, Obama, who has supported abortion on demand as the most radically pro-abortion president to date tried to tone down his rhetoric by saying, “We still may not agree on a woman’s right to choose, but surely we can agree it’s a good thing that teen pregnancies and abortions are nearing all-time lows, and that every woman should have access to the health care she needs.”

By health care for women, Obama is referring to abortion.

But…in 1984…President Ronald Reagan said this at his State of the Union address.

“During our first three years, we have joined bipartisan efforts to restore protection of the law to unborn children. Now, I know this issue can be very controversial – but unless and until it can be proven that an unborn child is NOT a living human being , can we justify assuming without proof that it isn’t?

“No one has yet offered such proof, indeed all the evidence to the contrary. We should rise above bitterness and reproach and if American’s could come together in a spirit of understanding and helping – then we could find positive solutions to the tragedy of abortion.”

Any comparison between Reagan and Obama makes me ill.

It’s like comparing Jesus and Hitler because both were powerful leaders.

Yuck!

Yet Romney spent years trying to create the myth that Reagan was “adamantly pro-choice”.

Thanks for this.

It is good and informative to see just how directly and clearly that Reagan addresses abortion.

I don’t think any Presidential level politician has since.

“surely we can agree it’s a good thing that ... every woman should have access to the health care she needs.”

It is insidious how President Obama can present a slander — that there are those that would not not want women to have access to health care — as if in a spirit of unity and cooperation.
