Reagan was governor of a liberal state. He enacted some very liberal legislation (Therapeutic Abortion Act) as governor but later on he turned out to be a great president.
The same could be true for Romney.
Really, I can not afford to vomit any more today.
Do you actually know anything about California when Reagan was elected?
It was in 1967 that the California legislature passed The Therapeutic Abortion Act, Health and Safety Code. Governor Reagan signed it.
It was “sold” as a compassionate law that would be used to deal with the “hard cases.” This statute allowed the termination of pregnancy by a physician, in an accredited hospital, when there was a specific finding that there was a substantial risk that its continuation would “gravely impair the physical or mental health of the mother,” or when the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest. However, the law did provide that no termination of pregnancy could be approved after the 20th week of pregnancy.
Ronald Reagan did not write that legislation. It was sold to him as compassionate, and he signed it.
Reagan never provided for free or low cost - no questions asked - abortions.
I guess you skipped post 47 and didn’t retain post 41.
Governor Reagan was known has a hard right, radical right Governor, and was treated that way by the California press and the national press, Romney has never been known as a conservative, ever.
Reagan was genetically conservative, it showed in his youth, young adulthood, his military service, and his entry into political union leadership during the 1940s and his emergence onto the electoral political scene in 1952 forward.
Romney is the exact opposite, born liberal, raised liberal, lived liberal, politically liberal, he is genetically liberal and only rewrote his platform to run for president as a 60 year old politician.
Romney is known for liberal leadership on the national issues, he has merely done a political 180 for this single office. There has never been a republican this liberal in this position, this is history making.
