[George W. Bush]

The two had NOTHING to do with each other.

Nonsense. Roe did not come from a vacuum. The liberal Warren Court (headed by another California governor) imposed Roe on all the anti-abortion states (like Texas) only after other large key states like New York and California passed such laws as Reagan's groundbreaking 1968 abortion bill.

And it became his abortion bill the minute he put his signature on it.

No, Romney signed into law a socialist healthcare plan that included taxpayer-funded abortion AFTER his supposed conversion.

Taxpayer-funded abortion has existed for decades in MA. I don't think it has been established that every healthcare plan offered in MA must include abortion-funding. Maybe it does. But I think you should prove it.

Dear George W. Bush,

“Nonsense. Roe did not come from a vacuum. The liberal Warren Court (headed by another California governor) imposed Roe on all the anti-abortion states (like Texas) only after other large key states like New York and California passed such laws as Reagan’s groundbreaking 1968 abortion bill.”

Before proceeding further, you should try to get some of your basic facts straight about this issue.

WRONG. Roe v. Wade was handed down on January 22, 1973, Warren Burger was Chief Justice. Warren had been retired for three and a half years at that point.

Rape, incest and health of the mother had NOTHING to do with the Roe decision. Norma McCorvey ("Jane Roe") claimed that her pregnancy was the result of rape, though she has since admitted that this was untrue and that she was coerced into making the allegation. The substance of the Roe decision was based on privacy, it had NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY LAW SIGNED BY REAGAN.

You know, it's one thing to try to make a candidate more appealing by trying to RAISE HIM UP TO REAGAN'S LEVEL, it is another thing altogether to try to legitimize the same candidate by trying to TEAR DOWN REAGAN'S LEGACY.
