Reagan did sign the abortion bill in California when he was governor. He later said he regretted it.
What he signed was an abortion bill that would be considered pro life today. It said no abortions except for the health of the mother. He did not know the dems would construe health of the mother to mean any little thing. But even today that bill would greatly limit the number of abortions.
He regretted it because it was used by the dems, libs and socialists to open the flood gates and way more abortions occurred than he ever imagined. He regretted that greatly. But that does not make that bill pro-abortion. It is less pro life than say, no abortions at all under any circumstance or no abortions except for rape and incest or no abortions except for the life of the mother.
But that does not make it pro abortion or pro choice like Romney’s a woman’s “right” to choose to abort her baby should be protected and govt. should not interfere with a woman’s “right” to abort her child. That is pro abort and pro choice. Nor did Reagan’s bill provide $50.00 or free abortions for anyone. That was all Romney’s doing.
