“Wrong. He may have *thought* that’s what he signed, but what he *really* signed was an abortion liberalization law with loopholes that basically allowed abortion on demand.”
That’s certainly how the law was [mis]interpreted, but not how it was written.
Although I disagree with them, most folks who are pro-life accept legal access to abortion in cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother. It was for those exceptions that the law was intended by Mr. Reagan.
If Mr. Reagan was pro-choice, then so are most folks who consider themselves pro-life, even though they would make illegal 96%+ of abortions.
“People ought to stop lying about Romney.”
People aren’t lying when they note that Mr. Romney claims to have backed a nearly unlimited abortion license for over 30 years.

People keep *proving* my point ...
They are willing to give Reagan the Icon slack they won’t give real-live candidates today. Why are you bothering to defend Reagan’s actions when *he himself* admitted he was wrong! And this lame “That’s certainly how the law was [mis]interpreted, but not how it was written.” It was written that way or it wouldnt have been abel to be ‘misinterpreted’. The exception in law was not life it was ‘health’ and we all know that is a mack-truck sized loophole. Reagan was warned about it even then. He signed it. A mistake.
Why cant people admit that and *move on*? Why this bizarre refusal to admit Saint Gipper once made a mistake?
“People aren’t lying when they note that ...”
Reagan was a FDR and Truman Democrat. For more than 30 years.
yet today we can’t even accept a *convert* who is banging on the gates to join the cause. fer cryin out loud, we are outnumbered and need reinforcements. This is a fine way to lose in 2008. Bash our own candidates when they say truthful things and disdain politicians for moving in our direction politically.
What moron came up with *that* as a political activism strategy? Dumb as a post!
