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.

It’s too convenient for him to say that. The statement was purely to appease.

I see you've been thoroughly hoodwinked by Giuliani's liberal double talk and his penchant for moral relativism. Abortion is not just any issue. Its an issue of life versus death. The position that Rudy takes is the same position that all liberals take. The same position the Clinton's take, along with John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and the other leftwingers who populate the Democratic Party.

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.

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.
