Adoption almost always ruins the biological mother**; abortion is none of Ronnie's business.

It's not the business of Govt. to require mandatory motherhood. You knew that, Ronnie but you loved govt interference when it suited you and your busybody friends.

**psycholgically

Additional: abortion is what ruins the "mother." Once an abortion is done, it cannot be undone, and the person who licensed the abortion knows this. Adoption gives people a chance that abortion would deny. Adoption is often the last resource of love. Abortion is anything but love.

[lumpagogo]

You people despise women, love to control them. The pregnant woman to you means nothing.

You obsess about that which she is carrying. "Psychotic Reaction."

You are 'pro-death' in every sense of the term; you are overpopulation fanatics.

When you equate, as the RCC-troublemakers do, a stem cell(or even a potential stem cell) to a 5 year or 15 year old person, you are reflecting your insatiable desire to obtain political power and glory--unto yourselves.

Deceive and weave. Spin and spin.

There are at least seven lies by lumpagogo here. I seek not power; I seek justice and civil rights. It is self-serving people such as yourselves who love abortion. Your hatred consumes you so much it makes you blind to the facts. You are the one who seeks control over women and their preborn children. You care not the consequences a woman goes through who aborts her own flesh & blood. For any woman who has aborted and regrets it, "Silent No More" is a campaign for you women, a outlet for healing

we seek protection for the unborn. The liberal seeks to protect the killer on death row

Wow, nice work Alan! That was a touching talk, on an important topic. Keep up the great work and God bless!

[DolceEbellaAldrin]

damn..that made me cry

[thatdamyank33]

I almost teared up at this.. What happened to people who ACTUALLY cared about us in Gov't? What happened to people who actually think about what they are doing? I'll tell you what happened. The poison to our nation called, the Liberal media.

My friend earlier this week actually told me that the Pledge of Alleigance (sry bout spelling :P) should not be done at school.... They think that it is indoctrination. Well if it's that that there afraid of then they should fix their OWN policies. GodBless

I am glad I lived

I get told I would be in a bad situation

I still love my birth-mom the same

I still love my parents right in this moment

[redhaireddog]

fuck reagan and this bullshit. I am adopted and wished that I had been aborted. Ugh

[daPlumber702]

@lumpagogo Did you just not listen to Reagan in this video at all?

[werdorino]

@Alanmania65 well said Alan well said!!!

This might sound TOTALLY cold-hearted, but to people saying that abortion goes against God... what gives people the idea that humans have any control over life or death? That's thinking a bit much of ourselves, isn't it? If a person is meant to live, then by God, nothing is going to prevent them from living. If not, then of course, God will make sure that everything runs according to plan. People have an obligation to fate, but at the same time, fate is concrete.

[suotamosa]

Although i disagree with his stance against abortion, i really resonate with his acceptance of Adoption as a viable option. So many people think that an unhappy woman raising a child she despises is preferable to letting the child be loved by a family who wants them.... just because people have this crazy idea that a blood bond is more important than an emotional or spiritual bond.

[Kiravak]

Reagan was right, Abortion is a reason to reject the liberal agenda. Liberals claim to want to protect life of those who are criminals, but they are silent when it comes to those who can barely speak for themselves. Reagan addresses a very critical issue, one at which most of America and hopefully the world pays attention to. A Death is a death, no matter what the cause is.

Lucky me. I got to live at the same time as Apollo 11 and Ronald Reagan, Oh, I remember hurricane Camille, too. That was pretty wild, even in NC.
