Barry Goldwater was a libertarian, western-state, "whorehouse" conservative who never had much use for religion other than to get votes. I believe he also procured an abortion for a female relative back in the Fifties.
Do you have some reference for it, or is it just something you randomly "believe"? His wife, Peggy, was a founder of Planned Parenthood in Arizona; were you thinking of that, by chance?
