Just to set the record straight so Nancy Reagan can rest in peace, from 1994:
“I’m against abortion,” she said in response to a question from instructor Carl Sferrazza Anthony, who is teaching a class titled “The President’s Spouse.” “On the other hand, I believe in a woman’s choice.”
Mrs. Reagan left the meeting room of the Mayflower Hotel immediately after the 90-minute question-and-answer session with Mr. Anthony, who was once a speechwriter for her, and was not available for further comment.
But her remarks were not entirely a surprise. In a book by former White House chief of staff Donald Regan, she was quoted as once saying, “I don’t give a damn about the Pro-Lifers,” and demanding that all mention of abortion be removed from the president’s 1987 State of the Union address. [There was no mention of it in the speech].
Don Regan
Poor choice to talk about her
