The conservative Democrats voted for Reagan because of ECONOMIC issues. Their putting food on the table was far more important than worrying about an issue that a President had very little control over. You'll notice that Roe vs Wade is still legal. Instead of straight-jacketing Republican presidential candidates, why don't work with your Congresscritter and have him introduce a Constitutional Amendment banning abortion? Funny how you guys always want to take the easy way out, as if the President has a magic wand or something.
And that is a huge failing of this country on many levels.
Pro-abort Bill Clinton vetoed PBA legislation twice and was not overridden. Pro-life George Bush signed it.
Rudy is opposed to PBA legislation. That shows right there the importance of a pro-life president.
