Except on that other thread you did engage in slandering our bishops by saying they are in disobedience to Rome and the Magisterium.

And yes, for the record, National Catholic Reporter is in a state of disobedience to their bishop and have been for years. Like it or not, bud.

McCAIN [to Bush]: Do you believe in the exemption, in the case of abortion, for rape, incest, and life of the mother?
BUSH: Yeah, I do.
McCain: [But you] support the pro-life plank [in the Republican Party platform]?
BUSH: I do.
McCAIN: So, in other words, your position is that you believe there’s an exemption for rape, incest and the life of the mother, but you want the platform that you’re supposed to be leading to have no exemption. Help me out there, will you?
BUSH: I will. The platform doesn’t talk about what specifically should be in the constitutional amendment. The platform speaks about a constitutional amendment. It doesn’t refer to how that constitutional amendment ought to be defined.
McCAIN: If you read the platform, it has no exceptions.
BUSH: John, I think we need to keep the platform the way it is. This is a pro-life party.
McCAIN: Then you are contradicting your platform.
 
" It is true that another conservative hero, Barry Goldwater, said he changed his position on homosexuality, abortion, and school prayer in his last Senate term because of his limited government views… Andrew Busch wrote that, in addition to the newfound philosophical justification for positions he had rejected his entire career, Goldwater “also had personal reasons: one daughter and three granddaughters of his had had abortions; and a grandson and a grandniece were homosexual.”

Reagan in a Radio Interview:
I go so far as to say that just as she has the right to protect herself against rape she has the right to protect herself against the result of that rape & therefore can rid herself of a child or refuse to have a child resulting from rape.

I urge all #ProLife Kansans to stand with @SenatorWagle efforts to stop Medicaid expansion & taxpayer funded abortions! I congratulate Senator Wagle for standing up to the pressure from the radical Left, the liberal media & pro-choice Republicans! #KSLeg

The “Republican’s History on Abortion” is an irrelevancy. It doesn’t matter today who did what 10, 20, or 50 years ago. What matters now is what people do today, and as far as the issue of abortion is concerned the issue could hardly be clearer. Nor is it particularly relevant what the generic members of each party believe since it is the congressional leaders who will determine what their party will do.

That said, where do the parties stand on the issue? The Democrats (as determined by their leaders) support abortion on demand throughout pregnancy, and (if the governors of Virginia and NY are seen as harbingers) beyond. They support public funding of abortion, oppose the Mexico City Accords, and the Hyde Amendment. Any presidential nomination for SCOTUS would be “safe” on abortion and would be expected not to overturn Roe.

By contrast, the Republicans (today, with Trump as president) would permit abortion in the case of rape, incest, or life of the mother concerns, support Mexico City and Hyde, oppose public funding, and would appoint justices who would be open (but not guaranteed) to reversing Roe.

This is the situation today, and the difference between the parties is stark.

True enough.
But as long as the thread is there, why not put the history in?
