Well, if it is your view that Reagan was a moderate on abortion, gun control, taxes, and the size and role of government then there's no point discussing this.
He was considered a liberal Democrat until he switched parties in '62. As governor he signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act which allow abortions for the 'well being' of the mother which was a switch from saving the life of the mother. He fought against anti-gay/lesbian legislation and try as you might to forget, he did raise taxes as president. Now given that if his joining the NRA makes him a conservative then I guess you have a point but by today's standards he was a RINO.
