Dubious sources. Reagan himself defended his decision to sign the bill in a 1975 radio broadcast, even though he did not mention the mental health loophole. I think that if your charges are true, and he did regret his decision, it was because of the mental health exception. I can't imagine Reagan being in favor of forcing women who have been raped, to bear the child of a rapist.
Bold talk and nothing to back it up. Lou Cannon and Fred Barnes aren't dubious sources. Get real.
>>>>Reagan himself defended his decision to sign the bill in a 1975 radio broadcast.
I've got the transcripts from 1975, as detailed in the book/tape, Reagan In His Own Hand. So don't give me any of your 'cockinbull' storyline.
"It was a subject I'd never given much thought to and one upon which I didn't really have an opinion."
Reagan went onto say, he did extensive research on abortion and "soul searching" and concluded that abortion was the taking of a human life. That was Reagan's position in 1968! Less then one year after his regretful decision.
Now, what facts do you have to back up your silly accusations against Ronald Reagan?
