“Are Repubs just abnormally stupid? Reagan won because he had the courage of his conservative convictions”

Please list the abortion laws that Reagan changed in the 8 years that he has president. Thanks.

With a Dimmo congress that whole 8 years? None. But he did propose a Constitutional amendment which would have outlawed abortion except to save the mother’s life. That’s far more courage than Rand Paul is showing. He’s given up without a fight. He’s already tacking left and he hasn’t even received the nomination. He obviously don’t care about the traditional Repub base.

President Reagan was a hero and an inspiration to the pro-life movement.

While everyone (except Rand Paul) knows about Reagan’s aggressive Cold War actions of the early 1980s, some forget that he wrote a book on abortion, published in 1983.

Reagan describes his efforts here. “”Over the first two years of my Administration I have closely followed and assisted efforts in Congress to reverse the tide of abortion-efforts of Congressmen, Senators and citizens responding to an urgent moral crisis. Regrettably, I have also seen the massive efforts of those who, under the banner of “freedom of choice,” have so far blocked every effort to reverse nationwide abortion-on-demand.””

One success is mentioned here.
“Moreover, Reagan’s putting the Mexico City Policy during his presidency to cut off taxpayer-funding of groups that promoted and performed abortions in other nations has saved literally millions of lives in the decades since.”
