"A third of my generation is dead because of politicians like Giuliani." -- Steven Pokorny, age 28, at Giuliani during meeting in Miami, Sunday, Jan. 13
MIAMI, Jan. 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rudy Giuliani was rattled by pro-life advocates and canceled his speech at his first bus-tour event Sunday in Miami. Activists have planned confrontations with Rudy for every stop of his Florida bus tour. Photos available online.
On Sunday, Jan. 13, at approximately 12:15 PM, pro-life activists were in the crowd at The Green Street Cafe (located at 3110 Commodor Plaza, Coconut Grove Florida, just outside Miami) waiting for Giuliani to begin his Florida Bus Tour.
When Rudy Giuliani arrived, Joseph Landry (age 26) was within 5 feet of the candidate, and began yelling: You are a baby killer! You are a baby killer! Florida is pro-life! Rudy wants public funding for abortion!" See news report. Law enforcement officials immediately escorted Mr. Landry from the area, while Mr. Landry continued his monologue.
Within Minutes, Steven Pokorny, age 28, stood to his feet and cried out, "A third of my generation is dead because of politicians like Giuliani! Giuliani wants to kill children and have you pay for it!" Law enforcement did not stop Mr. Pokorny.
At that point, Giuliani left the building, without addressing the crowd.
Mr. Pokorny was able to follow Mr. Giuliani for more than a minute, yelling out about Rudy's pro-choice, pro-homosexual agenda. Again, Mr. Pokorny was not interrupted by police.
Giuliani officials had no idea how many pro-lifers were in the crowd, and how many more times Giuliani would be confronted. This might explain why Mr. Giuliani did not make any remarks - and left the meeting without addressing supporters.
Pro-lifers have scheduled confrontations with Rudy on every stop of his Florida Bus tour.
Video footage of the confrontations with Rudy is available upon request.
No one would divide and split the Party wide open like him. NO ONE.
No one is “forcing” anything on anyone here. Stating one’s opinion that another’s conduct-—in this case, in protesting-—is not helpful, is just that: an opinion offered for the sake of influencing behavior.
If, as you do, you believe that such tactics (”being rude bullies”) are not helpful to the cause of life, why don’t you speak up against them? And why are you arguing with people who are willing to speak up agains them?
Well said! Unkind to the canine friends we have but understandable. You also left out draft-dodging, corrupt and adulterous but then nobody is perfect.
> No one would divide and split the Party wide open like him.
> NO ONE.
He would split the party less than Mitt, Huck, and McCain.
The choice is not between worthless protests such as these and doing “nothing.”
Of course, we should not do “nothing.”
You’re right. I’ve got to remember to put in three-timing adulterous philanderer next time.
Thanks
I already stated why.
It is not MY PLACE OR RIGHT to tell other people what to do, how to act, or when to protest.
That is THEIR right. They are not lawbreakers because they CHOOSE to protest. And I support their right to do so.
And if it were Hillary they were protesting, I’d be feeling the exact same way.
Hillary and Rudi are not the PROTECTED FROM THE PEOPLE class. They may like to be, but they aren’t.
Again, what are those smarter ways that will stop abortion dead in it’s tracks ????????????
Okay, this is getting ridiculous.
Excuse me, but the burden is on those supporting these protests and claiming that they are helpful to give the rest of us some evidence that this is indeed the case.

How would you stop abortion ????????????
While he was the “Republican Mayor” of New York City he appointed more than 60 men and women to the Civil, Criminal, and Family Court benchs. In all of those judicial appointment only two were Republican.
All of his other judical appointments were either registered Liberals or registered Democrats. As the “Republican Mayor” he had appointment power over more than 70 full commissioners in more than 50 City agencies, yet at no time during his administration did REPUBLICANS account for more than 10% of those appointments.
He even appointed Chuck Schumers wife as the City’s Department of Transportation Commissioner.

At the first Republican debate in May, Giuliani was alone among the GOP candidates in offering a less-than-robust affirmation when asked whether it would be a good day if the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade ruling.
"It would be OK," Giuliani said. "It would be OK to repeal it."
But, he added: "It would be OK also if a strict constructionist viewed it as precedent" and kept the law intact.

No way. At least those three offer, try to offer, or pretend to offer social conservatives SOMETHING. Rudy unpologetically offer them nothing. (I know, I know—at least he is honest..lol)
Wrong. Dead wrong.
Just because some feel these protests were counter-productive under all the circumstances, you take from that that somehow this encompasses “totally abandoning the pro-life platform.”
You still haven’t addressed how you think these types of protests are valuable and worthwhile.
How would you stop abortion ????????????
But I still think Rudy looks better in a dress than Hillary.
Just so neither of their address' is ever again Pennsylvania Avenue.
We will vote for them.
Baby-murdering Mr. Giuliani should be hounded from this race, and shamed into leaving public life entirely.
They offer a bit of foresight into what kind of support Rudy could expect from the traditional base....lol
That's actually a good question. I don't know how else someone can go about it, especially when the "lawmakers" who have the power to change it are encouraging it to continue.
Good for them.Wish I was there.
