NRO’s editorial on Rudy Giuliani’s abortion contortions included this line: “The last Republican president to favor legal abortion was the late Gerald Ford, and even he did not support taxpayer funding.” Andrew Hyman writes in to deny that Ford, as president, favored legal abortion. He points to a letter Ford sent to the Catholic archbishop of Cincinnati in 1976. I had never seen this letter. Based on its contents, it appears that Ford, as president, believed that states should generally prohibit abortion.
