WASHINGTON: Republican presidential frontrunner Rudolph Giuliani yesterday appealed to the centre-ground of US politics on the polarising issue of abortion, and restated his opposition to an early pullout from Iraq. The former mayor of New York, who shot to global prominence after the September 11 attacks of 2001, staked out his own dislike of abortion but said he supported a woman’s right to choose.
“I personally oppose it but I believe that that should be a choice that someone else gets to make,” Giuliani, who is Roman Catholic, said on Fox News Sunday. That is a stand that will almost certainly lose him votes from the Christian right in next year’s primary elections to choose the Republican party’s candidate to succeed President George W Bush.
But Giuliani believes that his stand will resonate with most Americans, who polls show to be against rolling back the Supreme Court’s landmark “Roe v Wade” ruling permitting abortion even if they personally oppose the practice.
He said he was trying “to broaden the base of the Republican party” as issues surrounding terrorism and the economy “are so important that we have to have the biggest outreach possible.”
The former New York leader is also under fire from Christian conservatives over his moderate positions on gay marriage and gun control, and his personal life – he has been married three times.
But Giuliani, who has pulled ahead of rival 2008 contender and Arizona Senator John McCain, said he should be judged on his record from the aftermath of 9/11 and for ridding New York of rampant crime and economic decline.
“Nobody’s perfect. I’ve made mistakes in my life. I’ve prayed about them,” he said. “In my case, you can judge me on my public record.”

You can't have it both ways numbnuts.
Also from the cited source.
There it's fixed...
Exactly what other issues do you think a liberal like Giuliani can be trusted on?
Rooty can't be trusted to support limited govt. We know Rooty supports gun control and an assault weapons ban. Flip flops and nuances aside, we know Rooty supports abortion on demand as a constitutional right and has always opposed a ban on partial birth abortion. And his support for gay rights and amnesty for illegals is well documented.
What do you support in Rooty`s liberal agenda?
Why not? There are people that oppose the death penalty, yet they support the state’s right to execute criminals. There are people that are one religion, yet they support other’s rights to freedom of religion. Ther probably are many instances of someone personally opposing something, yet supporting the current laws.
The Republican Party is the life party. Been that way since Reagan in 1980. If both parties are for abortion and death, then the GOP will die off as a major political influence.
That may be true, I have no idea. My comment was on those people that oppose something, yet support the current laws.
I haven’t listened to much that he has said. My comment was on those that oppose something, yet support the current laws.
I personally am against the taking of human life, but I also understand that depending on the circumstances, taking a human life can be justified/unjustified, required/unnecessary, expeditious, murderous, abhorrent, etc. I believe it is between one’s self, the law and God.
Guiliani doesn't really want to be president.
Great way to get elected, start out by disenfranchising a large strong segment of the party.
Speaking out of both sides of his mouth again. He still no different from Clinton, Obama, or Edwards on the abortion issue, close on gun-control. Unforgivable.
Guiliani doesn’t really want to be president.
*********************************************
Guiliani : not so bold prediction... “Once I get the matching funds I’m outta here!”
Rudy says, "Nobody's perfect. I've made mistakes in my life. I've prayed about them. In my case you can you can judge me on my public record".
So I guess this means Rudy prayed and God gave him the go ahead to keep making mistakes.
No thanks, Rudy, you must have been praying to some other God, your private life and public record are a disgrace to mankind and an abomination to God.
Seems it pretty well disqualifies Rudy for the GOP nomination!
The problem is, Rudy went beyond merely stating that he supported current law, he stated that he supported abortion for other people. That’s different than just saying he is against it, but would uphold the law as stands.
His statement means he either sees others as not being afforded the same level of humanity as himself, or that he’s lying about his abhorance of abortion. Either one is not good and not GOP presidential material.

Rudy may have prayed to God, but I really wonder if God even listened, given that He knows more about Giuliani than anyone.
Even knows Rooty's innermost thoughts and secret deeds.
