At 100, Reagan's Pro-Life Legacy Takes the Cake
At 100, Reagan's Pro-Life Legacy Takes the Cake
Public Advocate is remembering Ronald Reagan's 100th
birthday. Liberals are forgeting it and when they talk about Ronald
Reagan they lie, misrepresent and make up his
legacy.
Family Research Council nails the liberals with this
observation:
While the nation reminisces about Ronald Reagan's 100th
birthday, it's interesting to see what most of the tributes leave
out: Reagan the pro-lifer.
In 1987, while Reagan was still in the White House, Ted Koppel
was the host of ABC's Nightline TV news show and noted that if you
can say anything about Ronald Reagan, Americans know what this
President believes.
If you took any 50 Americans on any street corner in America
and asked them what he's for, he's against, they could tell you:
He's pro-life; he's against the Communists. Pro-life, against the
communists. No doubt then. No memory now.
President Reagan spoke of the unborn in both his Inaugural
addresses, and his State of the Union speeches. He supported
legislation, proposed constitutional amendments, and issued
Executive Orders backing up those pro-life convictions. In his
budgets, he zeroed out Planned Parenthood for eight years running.
He (Reagan) wanted no federal money for this evil enterprise.
And he wrote a book--the first President to do so while in the
White House--titled Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation. He
condemned no one--including pro-abortion politicians. He wouldn't
dream of criticizing the members of the Supreme Court as they sat
before him at a State of the Union address. But he sent his
representatives up the steps of that eminent tribunal with a call
to correct the infamous Roe v. Wade ruling.
