Again, look at the “single issue” voters.
When you talk about voting for a CANDIDATE in a representative Republic, it is a given that you will probably not agree, 100%, with what that candidate stands for.
Pro choicers have always been far more willing to vote for a prolifer, than prolifers have been to vote for a pro choicer.

Kansas has far more liberal abortion laws than California, that is why women used to come here, to Wichita, to get abortions.

Also, Ronald Reagan wrote a prolife book,

He was very prolife by the time he ran for President.

[counterpunch]

Ronald Reagan was always pro-life.
But California politics demands otherwise.
Reagan simply enacted the will of the people, like a good elected politician does in a representative democracy.

Reagan didn’t run on an anti-abortion platform.
Neither for Governor nor President.
He ran on other issues. He didn’t make abortion a central theme to his campaign the way so many politically tone deaf Republicans have done in California in recent elections.
