Reagan didn't allow anything! The 1967 California Therapeutic Abortion Act was designed to address the most difficult abortion cases. The bill was limited to the 1%-2% exceptions for rape, incest, or personal health risk of the mother. As with most states, abortion was legal to save the life of the mother under California law going back 150 years. The real problem was the California liberal medical community abusing the law and basically encouraging women to have an abortion.

You completely ignore the fact that the Democrat controlled legislature would have overrode any veto by Reagan. These cheap pot shots against Reagan to make a POS like Romney look better are wrong and have to stop.

“The real problem was the California liberal medical community abusing the law and basically encouraging women to have an abortion.”

Isn’t that what I said?

Again, I’m not advocating Romney I’m arguing whether pols can have epiphanies on controversial issues.
