If you are blaming Reagan for abortions then the simple fact is you are a one issue idiot.
Reagan was NOT pro abortion. To imply otherwise is to slander a good man and shows what a shallow, simple minded fool you are.
A president can not simply decree that abortions must stop and then they magically stop.
If you think Reagan was in any way responsible for even one abortion then you are a raving nut job.
If you don’t like what I said, go whine to the mods or sue me.
True!
Now given that was obviously true in 1980, how many abortions could Santorum, Gingrich or Romney stop in 2012?
Notta goddam one.
It's schizophrenic for FR to freak out about "pro-life" candidates since it doesn't have anything to do with them, and further, if they're going to be consistent, then they would be anti-Reagan today as well.
On June 14, 1967, Ronald Reagan signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act, after only six months as California governor. From a total of 518 legal abortions in California in 1967, the number of abortions would soar to an annual average of 100,000 in the remaining years of Reagan’s two terms — more abortions than in any U.S. state prior to the advent of Roe v. Wade. Reagan’s signing of the abortion bill was an ironic beginning for a man often seen as the modern father of the pro-life movement.
