Reagan signed what was meant as very limited and targeted abortion legalization legislation for instances where the health of the mother was in danger. Doctors abused that provision, and Reagan learned from it and later said he regretted signing the legislation as a result.
Romney supported legal abortion demand - including minors being able to get an abortion without parental notification or consent - as he campaigned in 1994 and 2002.
If you can't grasp the difference, I can't help you.
And you answered a question that wasn’t asked. The issue is can a politician have an epiphany and change/modify their position on abortion? At one time Reagan thought it was okay if the health of the mother was at risk. Later he changed that to only the most extreme cases where the life of the mother was in danger.
But the opening he allowed by signing that original legislation resulted in the deaths of millions of babies.
I’m not saying Reagan was pro-choice, he was ADAMANTLY pro life. But pols make mistakes and sometimes they have to live with the political consequences.
And sometimes they don’t.
