You’re straw man won’t fly. Reagan’s abortion stance is irrelevant. Remember, it’s Fred who made Reagan the standard.
The conversation was about Reagan. I believe you said that "every principled conservative was for Reagan" in 1975. I found that hard to believe given Reagan's atance at that time on abortion. It really had nothing to do with Fred, no matter how much you wish that it did.
I strongly suspect you have no actual idea what a "straw man" argument is.
