Where was Reagan when abortion went to the Supreme Court and was declared a constitutional right for a Woman to choose? A certain aspect of that bill happened during his Presidency.
The answer? Sitting Presidents have little say over what visits the Supreme Court.
But while you're at it, you accused Rudy of favoring partial birth abortion, can you give us actual factual events? How about a source or documentation that backs up your claim. Or are you simply regurgitating hear say?
Which alternate universe?

It's a famous statement by Rudy, on the public record.
“I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights,” Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.

Rudy`s words are good enough for me. How about you?
As to Reagan. He was President. Reagan didn't sit on the SCOTUS. The last time I looked, the Judicial Branch and the Execuitve Branch of government are divided by the Constitution. After Roe V Wade in 1973, the next major decision on the abortion issue didn't arise until the early 1990`s.
Reagan was not as obsessive about anti-abortion legislation as he often seemed. (or as some freepers would like us to believe. LOL)
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.

"Where was Reagan when abortion went to the Supreme Court and was declared a constitutional right for a Woman to choose? A certain aspect of that bill happened during his Presidency."
First of all, there was no bill.
Second, the "constitutional" right was found by the Supreme Court in 1973.
Third, Reagan was President from 1981 to 1989. He was NOT President when the Supreme Court made law out of whole cloth.
