Today's Victory for Traditional American Conservatism

vanity | 4/18/2007 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

Looks like today's Supreme Court ruling upholding the ban on partial birth abortion puts the lie to several RINO/moderate notions.

First, abortion is NOT a constitutional right. Second, a pro-life president can and does make a difference. Third, a ban on abortion can pass SCOTUS/Constitutional muster. Fourth, America is ready for a ban on all abortions. Fifth, traditional American conservatism CAN and DOES win.

Thank God for the pro-life President Bush and the Republican congress that enacted this ban and for the conservative court that upheld it!

The pro-abortion Rudy Giuliani must never ever be allowed to destroy the pro-life movement within the Republican party.

God Bless President Bush and Traditional American Conservatism!

Keep the faith!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa! :-)

I don’t care what the illegal immigration single issue crowd says, in the long run Bush’s two biggest accomplishments will be his Supreme Court and the WOT, time will show what good he has done in those two areas.

Ditto that.

Yep.

Liberals, as usual, are clueless. There have been 45 million abortions in America since 1973. If there had been
no such thing as abortion, and those 45 million babies had grown up into adulthood, most of them would have been Democrat voters! These 45 million may well have given the Democrats the presidency in both 2000 and 2004, and bigger majorities in Congress then they have at present.

The democrats are killing their future voters. No wonder
they want citizenship for illegal aliens to make up some of the difference.

[TommyDale]

Amen to that!

[Valpal1]

BTTT

[afraidfortherepublic]

Indeed!

What’s more, Hillary has uniquivocally stated that this decision is infringing on the rights of women to kill their babies by sucking out their brains! That is a GOOD thing to have on the record for those who think that it makes no difference whether, or not, she is elected in 2008 — God forbid!

[jveritas]

Amen.

I thought this was going to be a thread about banning "writeblock."

[SittinYonder]

For all the stuff Bush has done that’s left me shaking my head in dismay, he promised strict constructionists and delivered. This victory for unborn children can be attributed to Bush.

The pro-abortion Rudy Giuliani must never ever be allowed to destroy the pro-life movement within the Republican party.

Let that be our battle cry:

Pro-abortion Rudy Giuliani must never ever be allowed to destroy the pro-life movement within the Republican party!

I don't know why people who are opposed to the invasion of our country by illegals have to be a "single issue crowd." Nevertheless, I expect one day you'll wish you had cared.

Rudy Giuliani Supports Partial Birth Abortion.
Republicans Do Not!!

[GEORGE] WILL: Is your support of partial birth abortion firm?
Mayor GIULIANI: All of my positions are firm. I have strong viewpoints. I express them. And I--I do not think that it makes sense to be changing your position....
ABC News February 6, 2000

TUCHMAN: Giuliani was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions, something Bush strongly supports.
GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.
- CNN December 2, 1999

---

BLITZER: If you were in the Senate and [President Clinton] vetoed, once again, the [ban on the] so-called partial-birth abortion procedure, you would vote against sustaining that against the -- in favor of the veto in other words, you would support the president on that.
GIULIANI: Yes. I said then that I support him, so I have no reason to change my mind about it.
BLITZER: All right. So the bottom line is that on a lot of these very sensitive issues whether on guns, abortion, patients' bill of rights, taxes, you are more in line with the president and by association, with Mrs. Clinton, than you are against them.

MR. RUSSERT: A banning of late-term abortions, so-called partial-birth abortions--you're against that?

MAYOR GIULIANI: I'm against it in New York, because in New York...

MR. RUSSERT: Well, if you were a senator, would you vote with the president or against the president? [Note: President Clinton was in office in 2000]

MAYOR GIULIANI: I would vote to preserve the option for women. I think that choice is a very difficult one. It's a very, very--it's one in which people of conscious have very, very different opinions. I think the better thing for America to do is to leave that choice to the woman, because it affects her probably more than anyone else....

MR. RUSSERT: So you won't change your view on late-term abortion in order to get the Conservative Party endorsement?

MAYOR GIULIANI: It isn't just that. We shouldn't limit this to one issue. I'm generally not going to change my views

***Note: the version of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban that Giuliani opposed in 2000, that he said he supported Bill Clinton in vetoing the Republican-controlled Congress's legislation, contained the exception for the life of the mother that Rudy is now trying to pretend is a prerequisite for his support of it.

[dellbabe68]

When he was Mayor of NYC, I loved Rudy. But I completely agree, electing him would be a blow to the pro-life forces, and we cannot have that. No turning back!

My vote is with Fred, as long as he doesn’t get wobbly.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Mayor GIULIANI: All of my positions are firm.”

Yes, Rudy....firmly in the GUTTER!!
