To: Reagan Man
He adopted the "Mexico City Policy" halting federal aid to private groups promoting abortions abroad.

*His administration cut off funding to the United Nations Fund for Population Activities because the global agency violated U.S. law by participating in China's mandatory abortion program.

*His administration adopted regulations prohibiting federally funded "family planning clinics" from promoting abortion as birth control.

*The Reagan White House blocked use of federal money for research using the tissue of aborted babies.

Bush has done all of this too, and more.

No response, I see, to any of the other objections.

Look, I loved Ronald Reagan. But he was simply not as conservative in action as Bush has been. Not even close.

More revisionist BS.

You said: "Reagan didn't actually do anything for the pro-life movement. Bush has, in spades."

I know Bush has made many moves that have supported the pro-life movement. My post was made because you said Reagan did nothing. Which is not true at all. Liar.

Btw.

In 1984, through executive order Reagan created the "Mexico City policy". It prohibited US aid being given to international family planning organizations that provided abortion counseling and access to abortions. Clinton recinded it. Bush43 reinstated it. In 2003 Bush43 partly abandoned the Mexico City policy with his $15-billion AIDS package to Africa. Wrong decision by Bush.

If you have something you want to debate me on, speak up.
