Ford wasn’t all light and goodness, he was pro-abortion, strongly so.
ansel12, I didn’t say he was all light and goodness. I said he wasn’t the clown and buffoon people made him out to be.
After he left office and didn't have anything else to do but listen to his wife talk, sure. But that would be a mischaracterization of Ford's position as president.
Ford believed states should be allowed to legislate as they saw fit. His position, as distinct from his wife's, wasn't wildly out of line with Reagan's in 1976.
Lets not forget this either:
The Earned Income Tax Credit (E.I.T.C.) first proposed by Nixon, signed into law by Gerald Ford and increased under every administration since, without exception.
