It's time the charade ended that Giuliani is anything but a radical social liberal and time those supporting stopped claiming they care about such issues.
Very bad move by Giuliani.
Rudy is correct in his analysis. In fact Scalia has said the same thing, that Roe was a lousy decision but very well could be rationally regarded as precedent if a judge is inclined to do so.
Rudy was penciled in for me but he has just been erased. Abortion is a Constitutional right? Giuliani must also believe the Constitution is a “living” thing? He is becoming less a Republican and more like a RINO every day and I’ve has my fill of RINOs.
I’m liking Mitt more and more these days.
I wonder if he’ll feel the same way when his poll numbers start dropping. I respected his leadership in regard to 9/11 and managing NYC, but I’m very disappointed in Rudy now.
As I have said before — Guliani is a pragmatist. No respect for life. Using government funds to attack the defenseless is a gross distortion of the power to tax.
I’ll support Fred Thompson if he gets in the race, but he’s got to tear himself away from the tv filming first. Barring Fred, I see no other realistic candidates to beat Hillary other than Rudy.
I hope this is the butter on that piece of toast.
A damn shame that Rudy’s mother wasn’t pro-choice...
In his own words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALDfwXIYUX0
Barry Goldwater would be too liberal for the current republican party. Isnt that a sad thing ?
WRONG answer Rudy
so long as Roe is the law of the land - what can you do? what are you going to tell poor women who get medical care through public assistance?
Well, it's my choice not to pay for the killing of a child. I wouldn't pay for my own child to have an abortion, why should I pay for the stupidity or carelessness of others?
sorry, Rudy...you just put a fork in your candidacy.
next...
I was willing to support Rudy because of his leadership in spite of his pro-choice leaning. But this is too much. Not only is he disregarding the value of life, but he is confusing “Constitutional Rights” of the individual with government’s obligation to fund it.
Just not acceptable.
JulieAnnie is a liberal's DREAM--BOTH PARTIES TO THE LEFT OF CENTER!!!
Take a hike, Rudy.
Another thread from some weeks ago on this subject:

There are a hole lot of people making the prediction that if and when people become better informed on where Rudy stands on the issues, his support will drop.
Most politicians would be saying whatever they need to say to get as much support as possible, flip flopping is not an uncommon tactic of today’s politicians.
Giuliani apears to not wave away from his convictions in favor of gaining in the polls.
We’ll see what happens.
It is hard for me to believe that, after years of catholic and evangelical Christians pounding the sidewalk, writing checks, and voting in droves for the Republican party, that they are prepared to throw it all away.
We are finally seeing what the unborn mean to our party leaders in Washington who are quietly lining up behind Giuliani. Unborn babies apparently mean nothing. Power is all that matters to them - and any issue, even life or death for a baby - is subverted for use in the party machinery, to maintain a death grip on power.
There has to be one candidate that will stand up and save this party from itself, and can win the Presidency in a way that makes it worthwhile.
