That's true. It was the Republicans who championed a woman's right to choose.

Wrong.

Abortion was not part of the platform or agenda for either the GOP or the Democrats in the 1940s. Only the Communists and Socialists advocated openly for it at that time.

Country club Republicans like Rockefeller and Ford would back it later, but it was not a visible issue for the GOP in 1948 or earlier.

And, of course, there is no such thing as a "woman's right to choose."

There is currently a judicially legislated license for murder in the US, however.

Wrong.
LOL
You're running on emotion, not fact. I remember those days well...back when Republicans supported limited government.

Only the Communists and Socialists advocated openly for it at that time.
Wrong.
The American Medical Association and the Republican Party both openly advocated for it at that time...Democrats called Republicans "baby killers".
