Please don’t start this Romney crap again. I’ve been smacking down the liars and the deceived who have been passing this garbage for six years. Needless to say I have the proof you are wrong. Along with the fact that I am old enough to remember this and know exactly what really happened.

So look it up yourself. Start with the link at the bottom of this post.

Ronald Reagan passed a law which stated-
No abortion except for the health of the mother.
This is not pro abortion talk at all. Even today that view would be considered pro life.

Mitt Romney stated-
He would protect a woman’s right to murder her child.

He also said, Govt. should not interfere with a woman’s right to murder her child.

Mitt Romney absolutely pro abortion, pro-choice, pro death to the unborn.

What Reagan said and what Romney said are no where near equivalent.

But Romney did have an epiphany about abortion when he decide to run for office.

Lying Mitt and his minions trying to make him look better in comparison by trashing Reagan who is no longer here to defend himself. One of the very long list of reasons why I will never vote for that lying socialist son of an Alinsky-ite.

Oh, and here is your proof:

Give it some time. It’s an old article. I have a fast connection and it still took a while for me to load.

First, what you say Romney “said” isn't a quote. You're “interpreting” his words in a very negative way. So let's try to be honest in our discussion...okay?

Most conservatives I know judge a person's actions by the outcome they produce, rather than the political statements made about that action/decision. I'm a big fan of Reagan. I think he was, by far, the best president of the last century. And he is a personal hero to me. But I've studied Reagan's history, and I know how significantly he “grew” as a conservative after he hit his 50s. This is not an attack against Reagan. It is a statement of fact. Like Reagan, I became much more conservative as I grew older, more experienced, and more knowledgeable.

You can say Reagan wasn't “pro-abortion.” And I believe his views on abortion changed greatly later in his life. But the fact is that the legislation he signed as Governor of California resulted in a 200-fold increase in the number of abortions performed per year in that state. So with that in mind I have to ask why should I be impressed by a statement in the bill that says “No abortion except for the health of the mother.” We all know how “health” can be interpreted by a doctor who has a financial interest in performing an abortion. Certainly Reagan...who I consider to have been a very smart man...realized how “non-limiting” that statement really was. Obama told us his healthcare bill would improve access and reduce costs, too...so are you going to judge his intentions based on that B.S.?
