MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- Pro-life activist Joseph Landry confronted Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani for Giuliani's support of child-killing by abortion in New Hampshire:

The New York Times political blog reports: "Mr. Giuliani retained his composure when a member of the audience interrupted him and called him a "baby killer,'' for his support of abortion rights."

Associated Press reports: The Nashua town hall was interrupted by an anti-abortion protester who shouted that "a vote for Rudy is a vote for a child killer." "The blood is on your hands," shouted the man, who identified himself as Joseph Landry, 26, from Florida.

Many other media outlets carried the exchange between Mr. Landry and Mr. Giuliani.

"Joseph Landry's actions are part of an ongoing effort to expose Rudy for who he is -- a supporter of child-killing -- a Democrat in GOP clothing. When the base of the GOP learns who Giuliani is, they will reject him. Our goal is to make sure that happens.

"We will dog Rudy throughout the remaining days in New Hampshire, then begin dogging him in Florida, working to expose his campaign in the Sunshine State, and burying it for good on Super Tuesday." -- Randall Terry, Founder, Operation Rescue.

"Mr. Giuliani retained his composure when a member of the audience interrupted him and called him a "baby killer,'' for his support of abortion rights."

I'm sure he wanted to say, "don't you damn conservatives realize that I was mayor on NYC and that should override everything else?"

But, I ran the bums out of central park! (They were bothering my “ladies”.)

Now how does this help the pro-life cause?

[donna]

How does it hurt the pro-life cause?

[Clintonfatigued]

Why doesn’t this activist shout at Hillary’s rally instead of Rudy’s? Or perhaps at Obama or Edwards rallies? They’re more pro-abort than Rudy, who will at least hold no litmus test on Federal judges.

[svcw]

The other question is more pointed.

[GOPPachyderm]

Yup - put your efforts where they’re most likely to have a positive effect.

"Mr. Giuliani retained his composure when a member of the audience interrupted him and called him a "baby killer,'' for his support of abortion rights."

Yes, and maybe Hitler maintained his composure as the Gestapo clubbed and dragged away someone who called him a "Jew Killer."

Why doesn’t this activist shout at Hillary’s rally instead of Rudy’s? Or perhaps at Obama or Edwards rallies? They’re more pro-abort than Rudy, who will at least hold no litmus test on Federal judges.

Because the Democrat platform has a plank promoting the murder of babies.

There is none in the Republican platform

[wagglebee]

Now how does this help the pro-life cause?

Because having a pro-abortion candidate running against a pro-abortion candidate would be a disaster.

[hellbender]

After explaining that he personally opposes abortion, but believes the decision should be left to women, Mr. Giuliani...

Well, I "personally oppose" murder, but somehow I don't think the decision should be left to murderers.

How does it hurt the pro-life cause?

It makes them look like nasty, hectoring, heckling buffoons.

You are aware that by his own words, Rudy is a whole-hearted supporter of Partial-Birth Abortion, right?

Given that, I do not know how you can make this statement.

I know he has moderated his position on abortion somewhat since he declared as a candidate for the Presidency, however, I judge a man by his past actions more than by his campaign rhetoric when he is saying what he thinks he needs to say to gain votes.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Now how does this help the pro-life cause?

It helps a lot. Most people don't know that Rudy is pro-abortion, they just know him from 9/11.

[SoConPubbie]

It makes them look like nasty, hectoring, heckling buffoons.

Only to people who are not important to the Republican Primary process.

BTW, if this is what it takes to OUT the pro-abort Rudy to the rest of the unknowing and ignorant Republican Primary electorate, so be it!

[wagglebee]

They’re more pro-abort than Rudy, who will at least hold no litmus test on Federal judges.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

From Rudy Giuliani Interview on Hannity and Colmes, July 21, 2005:

COLMES: Now, on abortion — now, you are pro-choice, right?

GIULIANI: Yes.

COLMES: You're a pro-choice Republican.

GIULIANI: I am.

--------

COLMES: Now, Roe vs. Wade -- You are pro-choice. How important is it to you as a pro-choice Republican to have a pro-choice on the court as someone...

GIULIANI: That is not the critical factor. And what's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And he fits that category, in the same way Justice Ginsburg fit that category.

I mean, she was — she maybe came at it from a very different political background, very qualified lawyer, very smart person. Lots of Republicans supported her. I expect, and listening to Senator Nelson, I expect that John Roberts will get support from a lot of Democrats.

--------

GIULIANI: Presidents, going back to the beginning of the republic, generally appoint people on the Supreme Court that they believe agree with them.

Cheering JL on from the mid-west!

I’m anti-abortion but I don’t like this “approach”.
