Liberals are now rallying to Rudy's defense.
I worked in New York all through those years. Rudy did many good things as mayor, but I am not aware of ONE SINGLE THING he did to cut back on abortions or increase adoptions.
If the trends were favorable, it had nothing to do with Giuliani. Nothing. I don’t remember his doing anything to actively promote abortions, but neither did he do anything to reduce their number. And he certainly was an extreme pro-abort in every public statement that he made.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Actually I havent gone as far as look at Rudy’s stance on Abortion. I put the war on terror as priority number one and since our borders are national security I had been waiting to see if he has come out slamming this immigration bill. So far, he has not. I may not need to look further into his stance on abortion. Looks like he may have his name crossed off my list along with MCain.
When it comes to abortion I am pro-life. I am also prochoice. I believe in the woman’s right to choose leaving her home without her face covered in a Burka. So far, Rudy appears to be failing me on both issues
New York has an abortion rate higher than that of any state but California. In 1999, there was roughly one abortion for every two live births in the state, with the ratio in New York City being closer to even. For every ten children born in New York City, eight die at the hands of abortionists.
It’s a gruesome statistic, and the numbers only get worse when the focus turns to the black population. Statewide, in 1999, slightly more black children were aborted than were born.
What does this mean in terms of raw numbers? In 1999, 132,681 unborn children died in New York abortion clinics-10 percent of the total number of abortions in the nation, and enough to populate a mid-sized American city, such as Flint, Mich. Of these abortions, 96,000 occurred in New York City, with 78,000 of them abortions of either black or Hispanic children.

When they start running daily articles exposing Hilary's crimes and lies, I will change my opinion.
Uh, Rudy, if abortions DO NOT kill human beings, then why would you care about reducing them? Just a thought.
