Roe did not come from a vacuum. The liberal Warren Court (headed by another California governor) imposed Roe on all the anti-abortion states

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.

But she didn't make that statement at the time. Rape has always been a key trojan horse for the abortionists.
