Richard Nixon's Opinions

Drugs Is the war on drugs good policy? Agree I propose the establishment of a central authority [to become the Drug Enforcement Agency] with overall responsibility for all major Federal drug abuse prevention, education, treatment, rehabilitation, training, and research programs in all Federal agencies. ... Because this is an emergency response to a national problem which we intend to bring under control, the Office [will] operate only for a period of 3 years [with the option of] extending its life for an additional 2 years if desirable. Edit Pitches 17 Jun 1971    Source Does drug prohibition reduce drug usage? Agree If we cannot destroy the drug menace in America, then it will surely in time destroy us. I am not prepared to accept this alternative. Therefore, I am transmitting legislation to the Congress to consolidate at the highest level a full-scale attack on the problem of drug abuse in America.

Law Should abortion be legal? Agree There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white... or a rape. Edit Pitches 23 Jan 1973    Source
