I'm not the one telling lies.
Gov. Reagan was not pro-abortion.
At least, not any more pro-abortion than folks who call themselves pro-life and think all abortions should be banned but those involving rape, incest and the life of the mother, as determined by a competent medical board of physicians at a hospital.
Are you pro-life? How about in cases of rape? Incest? When continued pregnancy is highly likely to kill the mother?

Reagan was never pro-abortion, yet Romney has spent 5 years telling the public that he was “adamantly” pro-abortion. Romney despised Reagan, conservatism, and was passionately pro-abortion, Romney was emotionally and sincerely pro-abortion and had become so in 1963 and remained vocally so until he started running for the GOP nomination.
Reagan quickly realized that he had been rolled in the late 1960s as a new Governor, years before Roe v Wade and the effective pro-life awakening to what was happening.
from Mark Levin:
“Others have suggested that Reagan flip-flopped on abortion; this is also false. He advocated a health exception (for the life of the mother) which, as he explained later, was exploited to include virtually anything. But he wasn’t pro-abortion. Giuliani and Romney were. And they are struggling with it today. Reagan learned that the exception became the rule, and he would oppose abortion of any kind from then on. To compare this with those who emphatically defended abortion on demand (and federal funding no less, in Giuliani’s case) is nonsense.
Moreover, Reagan did all he could as president to follow through on his pro-life position. He instituted his Mexico City policy, preventing the use of federal funds for abortions abroad. His administration was directed to deny funds, wherever it could, for abortions. He was also part of an effort, led by Jesse Helms in the Senate, to amend the Constitution. There weren’t enough votes, but they tried.”

Yes you are telling lies. Now stop.
Abortion is always wrong. The idea that it might be necessary for the mothers health is a myth. A Congressman who is also a OB/GYN stated on the floor he has never seen that in over 20 years of practice.
That you use that example speaks to your true beliefs.
