Rudy: “There has to be a right to choose.”
Excuse me, but this does not sound like the words of someone who has promised to appoint strict constructionists to the supreme court.
As for the “I’m satisfied” and “that’s between me and my confessor” - sounds like Rudy has been hanging around with Hannity too much. When a public figure publicly renounces the laws of the church (Giuliani on abortion, Hannity on birth control), it is a scandal to the faithful. Either you’re a Catholic or you’re not. Picking and choosing what tenets of the faith you will and will not obey can not be resolved through confession. Confession requires repentence and the desire to “sin no more”. If Rudy’s satisfied with himself, then he denies he has sinned at all, which is a scandal.
And defending donations to Planned Parenthood because they provide “counseling services” is the most laughable lie of all. They provide abortions and politically advocate the right to an abortion. I don’t think too many teenage girls go to PP for “counseling”. Nor do I suspect that this “counseling” is ever to encourage the girl to have the baby.
If only Rudy had stuck to the pro-life position of the Catholic Church.
BillyBoy Clinton was infamous for “triangulating” issues.
RudyBoy is “quadrillionating” issues——giving every side a piece of the action.
The guy figures he gets 1-2 votes from each statement; they’ll all vote for him thinking Rooty is on their side.
