"When Reagan signed the 1967 Therapeutic Abortion Act, he said he did it out of sympathy for the victims of rape, incest and for those women who may be facing health risks or worse, death from childbirth. Reagan did not sign it out of political expediency. There was no flip flop in it. This was one of the first actions taken in the modern abortion battle. An action Reagan regretted within a year and a decision that haunted him for the remainder of his life.
The three exceptions rule is not the same as abortion on demand. Rudy Giuliani has made countless public statements over his entire public career supporting a womans right to choose death, and to kill her unborn child using abortion as a birth control measure..... 95% of the time! Give me a break. Reagan's position on abortion was the complete opposite of what Rudy`s abortion stance is today."
Now, exactly what are you talking about? What I posted in #271 is exactly what Reagan said in 1967 when he signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act into law; exactly what Reagan told Lou Cannon in 1968 about regretting his decision to sign it the year before; and exactly what Reagan said in his 1975 radio essay. I have the book and supposedly you have the CD/tape on that book, "Reagan In His Own Hand". In addition, I reviewed this same information in my post at #283.
So, what is your problem?
The lies about abortion persisted up to and including 1973 when the USSC infamously legalized it.
We now know Planned Parenthood and the NARAL crowd all along wanted (1) abortion on demand with the govt picking up the tab, (2) abortion as birth control, (3) multiple abortions for convenience, (4) abortion when sex of the child is unwanted, (5) abortion for every conceivable birth defect.....ans and last but certainly not least, (6) partial birth abortion (read infanticide).
Once these savages start the killing----who knows where it will end? And Giuliani will be on their side all the way.
Rudy is not just "pro-abortion." Rudy is joined at the hip to the most radical pro-abortion elements---NARAL, Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion-on-demand-with-the-govt-picking-up-the-tab crowd.
Giuliani used his Mayoral term to advance abortion EVEN THOUGH, AS MAYOR, HE HAD NO LEGISLATIVE OR OFFICIAL MANDATE TO DO DO SO.
From the FEC database: 04/24/1999 Donations
NEW YORK STATE NARAL INC WOMEN'S HEALTH PAC
NARAL donated exclusively to Democrat candidates with one exception----Rudy Giuliani.
Giuliani accepted $1,000 from NARAL in 1999.
NARAL gave $250 to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
NARAL gave $1000---4 times as much-----to pro-abortion Giuliani.
Clearly, NARAL trusted Rudy's pro-abortion credentials, and Rudy's willingness to advance NARAL's radical abortion-on-demand agenda, even more than NARAL trusted Hillary.
Rudy was the honored guest speaker and made The Opening Remarks to the N.A.R.A.L. "Champions of Choice" Luncheon few years back.
In a CNN interview, Giuliani indicated he does not support even a modest ban on the gruesome partial-birth abortion procedure saying, "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing." Giuliani also indicated he would have upheld President Clinton's veto of the partial-birth abortion ban.
Mayor Rudy told Phil Donahue he'd give his daughter the money for an abortion (to get rid of his own grandchild).
In summation----pro-lifers are merely treating Rudy's 2008 candidacy the way he's treated unborn children-------as a disposable nuisance.
