I think you are being unfair to Reagan. The Mexico City policy EO that Bush signed was actually originally signed by Reagan, then overturned by Clinton.

Yes, I think you are right. But Reagan could have issued any of those executive orders regarding military bases, etc., that Bush issued, and did not.

Reagan is my hero, and the best president of the 20th century, but if you read his bio, "My American Life," you'll see that he was standoffish about the pro-life people and repeatedly sought to balance them with the "moderates" (his words). My point is that Bush has actually saved more lives than anyone.
