And this advanced the pro-life cause in what way?

Having a pro-abortion Republican running against a pro-abortion Democrat for POTUS would be a disaster.

This is true. The above scenario is one better suited for the Bizarro World of SNL fame.

However, I don't think heckling Giuliani with epithets like "baby killer" really does much to advance the pro-life cause in America. Does he consider the ongoing slaughter of the unborn to be a matter of personal decision--one that's constitutionally guaranteed? He does, and it is sickening. Giuliani expects this and can simply write pro-life activists off as extremists; a number of mainstream GOPers would probably agree. Nothing was advanced, no one gave their own beliefs and presuppositions a second look--i.e., nothing was gained. Show's over, nuthin' to see here.

There really are better, more effective ways to do activism. Let's not take the low road on something this important.

Boorish behavior does not advance the pro life cause.
