When Reagan was Governor of CA he signed what is called in all the articles at the time “the most liberal abortion policy in the country”. Granted, today it looks like child’s play, but there’s no doubt that it opened the door to where we are today. Ditto amnesty.
He became much more conservative when he was POTUS and was representing the entire nation instead of liberal California.
NYC is a liberal bastion in this country as well. I don't believe a conservative could be elected there any more than in California.. then or now.
And that is relevant why? Do you think Rudy will become pro-life if we just vote him president? Or do you think being pro-abortion is OK because Reagan voted for a bill once?
What is your point?
