AC—I dug up some of the original quotes by Reagan at the time the abortion bill passed in 1967 when he was governor of California. He was anything but liberal. Unfortunately, the law was interpreted over time much more liberally than it was intended. See my post for some of his quotes:

The deformity provision was dropped shortly thereafter. The final statute permitted abortions in the case of forcible rape, incest, statutory rape if the victim was under 15 years old or if there was a "substantial risk" that continued pregnancy would "gravely impair" the "physical or mental health" of the mother. What's your souce for the quotes on the '67 statute? Thanks.

But she was so eager to paint Reagan as a pro-abort liberal, she tried to claim Reagan signed a SECOND abortion bill after being told of the significant limitations in the 1967 bill. Turns out, she got ahold of some bad Wikipedia info. But she saw what she wanted to see in her zeal to slime a conservative icon.
