You wanna bet? Obviously, I was older than you and more aware, if you were a student (and probably influenced by the leftist professors at the time.) I was a mom of 4 small tykes, surrounded by the leftist, libertine, elements at UC Bezerkley. I sent the telegram. I received the letter from Reagan claiming that he’d considered all sides carefully and that he felt that he had to sign the bill for those poor girls who’d been raped, or incested. I kept that letter for years because it looked like it actually bore his signature. Finally, I discarded it during a move after I realized that they used signature machines for that sort of thing. No, the newspapers made up the term “pro-choice” to stop the pro-life factions from saying pro-abortion. They even tried to get everyone to attach the moniker “anti-choice” onto the pro-lifers. I imagine Plan Parenthood still uses that term in California.
I was a Goldwater Girl and campaigned for the team, it is not relevant.
I am not having this conversation again with you, you want Reagan to be something he never was, I do not know why it is so important for you to believe this about Reagan. So have a nice life believing what you want. ta ta
The term "pro-life" was coined by U.S. leaders of the right-to-life (anti-abortion) movement following the January 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade
