[George W. Bush]

But the rape allegation was part of the entire public debate, the context of the decision.

If you wish to pretend that the previous abortion legislation signed in other states (like Reagan's in 1968) were of no importance and that the Warren Court imposed, completely out of the blue, a radical right to privacy which they made up out of whole cloth and with absolutely no support or previous analog anywhere in the country, then go ahead.

But I'm personally not interested in debating flat-earthers.

What does the PUBLIC debate have to do with the decision?

I notice you still want to link Reagan to this decision, even by resorting to factual inaccuracies. You made a statement earlier trying to link Reagan to this decision because both he and Earl Warren were California governors. However, none of this is relevant, because BURGER WAS CHIEF JUSTICE WHEN ROE WAS DECIDED.

There is no escaping the fact that Romney was pro-abortion for at least the better part of three decades after Roe was decided and he may still be pro-abortion today (he signed bills funding abortion). Stop trying to make your candidate seem conservative by demeaning Reagan.
