Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Rudy Giuliani isn't doing himself any favors on abortion by upsetting pro-life Republican voters will constant reminders that he's pro-abortion. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards isn't helping him either as she lavished praise on the former New York City mayor over a speech he gave Friday. Last week, Giuliani appeared in Houston for a campaign stop and told voters there that his record as New York mayor and his dealing with issues like terrorism and crime made him the best candidate for president.
He said Republicans should support him on that basis even though he disagrees with most members of his party by supporting abortion and wanting to force taxpayers to fund embryonic stem cell research.
"If we don't find a way of uniting around broad principles that will appeal to a large segment of this country, if we can't figure that out, we are going to lose this election," he said.
Richards praised the comments in a press release LifeNews.com obtained.
“It's encouraging to see that the front-runner for the Republican nomination for president supports the right to make personal private health care decisions free from government intrusion," she said.
"Giuliani's principled stand disproves the old-school belief that you have to check your convictions at the Presidential primary door," Richards added.
She warned that "Giuliani is pro-choice and at the front of the pack" claimed that "the days of the anti-choice strangle-hold on the Republican Party are numbered."
But, Republican voters have previously turned away pro-abortion candidates from capturing the primary nod, including former California Gov. Pete Wilson and Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter. Republicans haven't had a pro-abortion nominee since Gerald Ford in 1976.
Polls have also shown that abortion is a winning issue for GOP presidential candidates.
Post-election polling after the 2004 presidential elections found that President Bush's pro-life stance gave him an edge over pro-abortion Sen. John Kerry.
A 2004 Wirthlin Worldwide post-election poll found that 42 percent of voters said abortion affected the way they voted for president. Twenty-four percent of voters cast their ballots for President Bush while 15% voted for Kerry, giving Bush a 9 percent advantage on the issue of abortion.
Eight percent of voters in the Wirthlin poll indicated abortion was the "most important" issue affecting their votes and Bush won among those voters by a six to two percent margin, leading Kerry by four percentage points among the most intense abortion voters.
Good point. LOL
Rudy continues his attempt at creating an insurmountable schism within the Republican party.
I don't know.
It seems that he would never shoot himself since he hates guns. Maybe he's just stabbed himself in the back of his head then had all his liberal brains sucked out?
I'm just saying...
I think the ONLY thing standing in the way of Rudy getting a NARAL endorsement is that they don’t endorse Republicans.
Rudy would probaqbly accept the job if he fails in his bid to become president. He really sees nothing wrong with killing the alive unborn humans ... if he even considers the alive unborn little ones to be human beings.
We have unity - around the broad principle called the sanctity of human life. If you reject it, there’s at least one other party you can choose.
NARAL has never seen such an Abortion-compliant Republican candidate. Rudy could have a more NARAL-friendly abortion position than the defeatocrat candidate.
Man isn’t THAT the truth. He’s absolutely wrong on all the issues, killing babies is just the first. Outside the WOT he and Hildabeast are virtually indistinguishable.
Though Rudy does look better in a dress....
Oh and he's a freakin cross-dresser.
Yep, even the 'Rats have enough sense to avoid the topic when they are in Red states.
That would be no surprise. But it would help finish off his candidacy. I would hope?
I sure hope so. Hopefully NAMBLA and every other God forsaken freak group will also.
The man is bad on so many levels
From another Freeper for Life.
Bye, Bye Rudy, Bye, Bye.
You just reminded me of one I haven’t used in a long time:
Abortion: The great contradiction to everything this Republic stands for.
Well whoever that guy is, he could be the first man to ever get pregnant!!
Rudy should read: “Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation” by President Ronald Reagan
