[George W. Bush]

As far as I know the United States has never passed a law which allows a woman to choose to abort her baby.

Reagan signed the Therapeutic Abortion law in CA in 1968. It was a landmark case. He later regretted it and became thoroughly pro-life.

That was California. It was not the law of the United States. As far as I can tell the United States has never passed any law making abortion legal in the United States.

Yet our friend Registered seems to think that "in the United States our law allows for a woman to choose to abort her baby". That is not true. Our "laws" allow for no such national right. It is only the opinion of 5 unelected arrogant and ignorant judges that created that supposed right.

Dear George W. Bush,

Actually, Mr. Reagan signed the bill in 1967. By 1968, he was already denouncing it.

And recall, it only permitted abortion in cases of rape, incest, or "grave risk" to the health of the mother.

Mr. Reagan was concerned that the last exception could be exploited, but his advisors assured him that wouldn't happen.

Unfortunately, he was right, and the health exception was exploited to allow a much greater abortion license.

That's why he went from being a moderate pro-lifer (before 1968) to a much more radical pro-lifer (after 1968).
