If you will take the time to read the actual bill he signed into law, you will find that it allowed abortion in the case where the life of the mother was at stake, as determined by a panel of no less than ten doctors. He later regretted even that, admitting it as his biggest mistake, as he did not anticipate the panel rubber-stamping abortions.
Reagan was always Pro-Life, and it is largely Romney-Bots that bring up this scurrilous charge.
I am not a Romneybot in the least. He was my next to the last choice. But it is what it is. It will either be Romney or Obama.
I have read the bill.I don’t doubt that Reagan had regrets when he signed it into law and then saw how it was abused. But it really isn’t a “scurrilous charge” nor is it untrue. At one time Reagan said abortion wasn’t his central focus (not verbatim but I will find the exact quote if you need it).
The point being, the subject of this thread is about a possible charge from Allred about how Romney discouraged a parishoner from abortion. Perhaps Romney’s personal beliefs on the subject aren’t that far off base.
I heard an interview with Michael Reagan a couple of months ago. He said one thing that has stuck with me...”We weren’t looking for RR when we found him.”
I don’t think Romney is another Reagan. Those are pretty large boots to fill. Sadly I fear we may not have another. The times are very different.
My prayer is that Romney can beat Obama. I know for a fact what he is and represents.
(BTW, your down ticket votes are very important.)
