It was an EO that Bush reinstated. That EO had nothing to do with domestic abortion Bush signing the PBA ban did. The 1988 abortion bill ONLY prohibited abortions at Military hospitals it did not prohibit military personnel from having an abortion. Both the Reagan EO and the 1988 bill were process measures NOT bills actually restricting abortion procedures. The only restrictions placed were the locations that could not perform abortions, Military facilities, and international restrictions concerning population control aid when abortion was an option.

This is all discraction. That Bush reinstated a Reagan EO doesn't mean that reagan didn't sign the EO.

Here are your statements in question, from #1474:

"Bush has actually signed anti-abortion measures, Reagan never did."

"Bush has stood up to the UN Reagan never did."

Your comments here, "Reagan never did," are false, and these are the subject of my challenge of fact to you.

As has been shown, Reagan signed anti-abortion measures, and stood up to the UN.

To say he "never did" is untrue.

What you said about Reagan, in the quotes above, is untrue.

Yep Reagan really stood up for Isreal in the UN

The Israeli justification, advanced by then Prime Minister Menachem Begin, claimed that the attack was vital to Israel's security because, he alleged, Iraq was building a nuclear bomb that will be used against Israeli targets.

After several days of debate and U.S.-Iraqi negotiations behind closed doors at the United Nations, Reagan's ambassador to the world body, Jeane Kirkpatrick, joined the other 14 members of the UN Security Council in a 15-0 vote on June 19 that "strongly condemned" the Israeli raid - a vote which Time magazine described then as "one of the harshest United Nations rebukes of Israel that the U.S. has supported."

I have shown that my assertions were both accurate. You on the otherhand have only helped me do it.
