The 1967 Therapeutic Abortion Act that Reagan signed into law did not grant abortions on demand, nor did it provide government funded abortions. It was specific to the exceptions of substantial risk that would gravely impair the physical or mental health of the woman, along with rape and incest. The same three standard exceptions that most pro-lifers accept today. In fact, the health of the woman exception goes back more than 150 years in California law.
From the book, Reagan In His Own Hand, pages 380-385.
"I know there will be disagreement with this view but I can find no evidence whatsoever that a fetus is not a living human being with human rights."
I understand why you liberal/libertarian Republicans attack Reagan all the time. In this case, its to make a scumbag like Trump look better. Sadly, that is not possible.
“Reagan was not as obsessive about anti-abortion legislation as he often seemed. 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.”

Are you saying Trump is not pro-life, as he claims he is?
