No one has argued that have they? I even remember the legislation and how all of us, including Reagan were shocked at how it was misused, maybe you should look into that and learn something.

Get this through your head, Reagan was not pro abortion and that is what the discussion is about.

If you want to make the case that Reagan was pro abortion, or defend people that do, then post the information that the rest of us keep demanding.

Post the writings, the speeches, the debate transcripts.

As a political figure, candidate and office holder over an almost 50 year period and as a two term California Governor and a three time Presidential candidate in the years 1966 to 1980 you should be able to post his pro abortion words.

Actions speak louder than words. Nonetheless, I do not believe Reagan remained pro-abortion. Perhaps he never was and signed that bill by mistake; yet he did sign it.

Don't forget amensty, although that may be opening a whole new can of worms on this tired old thread. He also referred to himself as a libertarian.

My personal experience is that my parents, who had voted Democrat all their lives, became Reagan Democrats in 1980 . . . until he started doing things like taxing unemployment benefits. Someone I know who was sruggling financially with a toddler lost her food stamps because she wasn't on Medicaid. Remember that one? No you probably don't. I guess the assumption was that if you could afford private health insurance you didn't need food stamps. Solution? Go on Medicaid too and soak the taxpayers for even more.

I am not the crazed Reagan idolator that so many seem to be.
