Reagan was not as obsessive about anti-abortion legislation as he often seemed. Early in his California governorship he had signed a permissive abortion bill that has resulted in more than a million abortions. Afterward, he inaccurately blamed this outcome on doctors, saying that they had deliberately misinterpreted the law. When Reagan ran for president, he won backing from pro-life forces by advocating a constitutional amendment that would have prohibited all abortions except when necessary to save the life of the mother. Reagan’s stand was partly a product of political calculation, as was his tactic after he was elected of addressing the annual pro-life rally held in Washington by telephone so that he would not be seen with the leaders of the movement on the evening news. While I do not doubt Reagan’s sincerity in advocating an anti-abortion amendment, he invested few political resources toward obtaining this goal.

NO, see post 39, where only months after he reluctantly signed the bill, doctors were being charged with deliberately misinterpreting the law.
The doctors were doing what Reagan had made sure (he thought) could not be done, what Reagan had called "only a step away from what Hitler tried to do", when he had forced changes in the bill.
You quote the despised and mocked Reagan biographer, Cannon, what is it you were trying to say by using his false, anti-Reagan words?
