Before looking up those quotes from Reagan when passing the 1967 abortion law, I had never researched anything about the history of the abortion or the various laws. A few posts above, I was reminded of the allegation that Reagan's signing of the 1967 law was "the most liberal abortion bill our country." In reading those articles from 1967, I learned that Colorado and Governor John Love hold that title, not Ronald Reagan, as a similar law had already been passed in Colorado. However, as in California, the law did not intend abortion-on-demand but was subject to specified circumstances (life of the mother, rape, incest, etc).

Yep. But I’ve had these Rudy types tell me what a liberal Reagan was, because they lived in California and they just knew it.
I lived there too, and he was no liberal.
