Read the link I provided and learn some history. Reagan talks about how the 1967 law came about. It’s a good lesson in how laws get manipulated and sometimes are rarely recognizable years later.

And as I said, Ronald Reagan was NEVER FOR abortion.

You got that right, calcowgirl. Your link explains it all in Reagan's own words. CACon also needs to read the entire article at the link he provided which corrects his revisionist opinion and selective posting.

Reagan was always pro-life and never supported abortion on demand, personally or as a matter of public policy. Reagan signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act of 1967 with the intention of handling the difficult abortion cases. In the end, the California medical community ran roughshod over the limited legislation turning it into a 100% pro-abortion free for all.
