MICHAEL REAGAN
The son of President Reagan wrote the following in Human Events about Mitt Romney:
Some Republicans insist that the only perfect candidate would be a clone of my Dad, Ronald Reagan. Aside from the fact that there is no such thing, it’s important to recognize that Ronald Reagan, as he often admitted, was anything but perfect.
One of the criticisms about former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney focuses on his record concerning the abortion issue. We are told by the modern day Diogenes clones that he can’t be trusted to fight abortion because he once, more or less, supported a woman’s right to butcher her baby.
It may come as a surprise to these purists, but Ronald Reagan once supported abortion too. Yet nobody ever questioned his strong pro-life credentials after his conversion to Republicanism. They accepted his sincerity. Why can’t they accept Mitt Romney’s?
Romney’s record shows he should be totally acceptable to all conservatives, yet because of one dubious question concerning the validity of his conversion to the pro-life side, he is deemed unsuitable to carry the conservative banner.
You post those same tired talking points over and over, but they don’t help your point. Michael Reagan does not support or agree with Willard’s lie that Ronald Reagan was “adamantly pro-choice.”
Why can’t Willard apologize for LYING about RONALD REAGAN’S pro-life beliefs?
I’ll take Ronald Reagan’s word over Michael Reagan’s, how’s that?
Ronald Reagan made clear that he was never in favor of abortion, only permitting abortion in a small percentage of exception cases.
Mr. Romney, on the other hand, often and loudly proclaimed that abortion should generally be legal.
It's sad that folks can't distinguish between someone who believes that abortion should be permitted in perhaps 4% of cases of abortion that actually occur, and someone who believes that abortion is a constitutional right.
