Wrong, that article is pure bs about reagan. Reagan signed a law that almost ALL of us would sign. This is pure bs passed around by romney supporters. The law reagan signed, is the law most of us advocate. It allows abortion in the case of rape, incest, and "health" of the mother. Problem is back then nobody realized that the "health" loophole would be exploited as it had been. That is why today most abortion laws specificy exactly what this health exception means. Reagan admitted shortly after he realized what happened that it was a mistake and the law wasn't being used as he intended. He didnt, say in 1975, go oh crap, i want to be president, i'm pro life now.

The article's a hit piece on Reagan? Interesting.

The word that comes to mind is Irony...

Who wrote the article?

I didn't say it was a hit piece, i'm saying that it is omitting the facts. Reagan never ran around claiming he was pro choice. He signed a law that almost all of us would sign. I'm pro life, but i'm with the 90% of people and believe in exceptions for rape, incest, and health of the mother. Like i stated, problem with the health thing, is that it was grossly exploited. Nobody knew that back then, we know that today.

There is a clear difference between reagan and romney. Reagan as soon as he saw what was being done to the bill he signed, said it was a mistake. He didn't wait till he decided he wanted the GOP nod. Romney on the other hand held his pro choice views until shortly before he started his venture for president.
