Bush has actually signed anti-abortion measures, Reagan never did.
That one's not quite true, as Reagan did sign several anti-abortion EOs. Bush has stood up to the UN Reagan never did.
Reagan stood up to the UN plenty, not only on abortion, but also on funding, and Israel. Reagan also withdrew from UNESCO. That's off the top of my head.

What EO did Reagan EVER issue regarding abortion? I have to see it. once you have provided that we can address the othe points you made.
To: Sabertooth
The only EO I could find was the Mexico City accords. I could not find more than one much less several. Bush also reinstated that EO. Reagan did pull out of Unsesco.

In 1984, President Reagan issued a directive during the Mexico City Conference on Population which would prohibit foreign nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) receiving population aid from the United States from using their OWN funds for providing abortion services and from holding discussions on possible abortion services. (Note: U.S. money for abortion overseas has been prohibited since 1973). Reagan's EO was to prohibit private organizations from using their own funds for overseas abortions.
