“Ditto with mentioning that Reagan used to be a Democrat and signed what at the time was the most liberal abortion legislation in the nation.”
Reagan was a Roosevelt Democrat, meaning back in history he actually voted for Roosevelt, becoming a Republican in 1962, which puts him as a Republican since before the “60s” as we know them.
As the Governor of California in 1968 at the height of the sixties he signed the abortion bill sent to him, a decision that he quickly regretted. This was years before Roe vs Wade and before the great abortion wars that followed that 1973 decision, to continually use that to justify pro abortion activities by politicians during those intense abortion battles of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and the first decade of the 21st century is misleading and besmirches Reagan’s reputation by throwing him into the current (or any) pro abortion crowd, it would be more honest to make your argument without using President Reagan’s name, unless of course you use it in a way that accurately supports his beliefs.
