no, it is not false...Romney was simply more deceived than Reagan was at one time. So for that you still call him an abortionist which is a lie!

KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Rolling out a new line of defense of his flip flop on abortion rights, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Friday that conservative icon Ronald Reagan underwent a similar ideological transformation on the issue.
At a town hall meeting at Western Michigan University, a woman in the audience asked Romney why “we should regard you as a man of high standards and integrity when you have flip flopped on your position regarding the sanctity of life?” Romney replied that Reagan was “pro-choice before he became pro-life,” and named other Republican figures who he said had similar experiences on the issue, including former President Ge orge H.W. Bush and the late former Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois, who went on to become a leader in the effort to stop the expansion of abortion rights in Congress.
“We need people who recognize that pro-life is the way to go, and we’re getting more and more people joining our cause as time goes on,” Romney said.
Romney also addressed a recurring issue about whether abortions were forced on Catholic hospitals under the health care law he signed as governor of Massachusetts. “A court in our state decided that anyone who was receiving subsidized care was entitled to abortion on a very inexpensive basis. That was decided before our law was passed, that had nothing to do with our law whatsoever,” he said.
He said that during his tenure as president, he would stop funding for Planned Parenthood, and took a swipe at rival Rick Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, who he said voted for bills to fund the organization while he was in Congress. “I’m a pro-life person and I’ll be a pro-life president,” Romney said.
...Romney was simply more deceived

We cant have someone easily deceive3d connected to National security or near the RED BUTTON...
Romney set out 5 years ago to create the myth that Reagan was pro-choice, he has spread it on TV, radio, in interviews , calling Reagan “adamantly pro-choice”.
Romney despises Reagan, Reagan ran against his father in the presidential primary of 1968. Mitt Romney renounced his republican party membership in 1979, because of Reagan winning the nomination.
After leaving the party because of Reagan, Romney became a supporter of liberal republicans through the 1980s, until 1989, after that, all of Romney’s donations went to democrats, Romney even did democrat fundraising and voted democrat, and then in October of 1993, after Reagan was gone, and Bush defeated for reelection, Romney rejoined the GOP.
In 1994, Mitt was giving to, and fund raising for Planned Parenthood and campaigning on having been anti-Reagan during the Reagan years.
Im a pro-life person and Ill be a pro-life president, Romney said.
