"I've said that I'll uphold a woman's right of choice, that I will fund abortion so that a poor woman is not deprived of a right that others can exercise, and that I would oppose going back to a day in which abortions were illegal.

I do that in spite of my own personal reservations. I have a daughter now; if a close relative or a daughter were pregnant, I would give my personal advice, my religious and moral views ...

DONAHUE: Which would be to continue the pregnancy.

GIULIANI: Which would be that I would help her with taking care of the baby. But if the ultimate choice of the woman - my daughter or any other woman - would be that in this particular circumstance [if she had] to have an abortion, I'd support that. I'd give my daughter the money for it."

"I'm pro-choice. I'm pro-gay rights,Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing," he responded." -- CNN.com, "Inside Politics" Dec 2, 1999

Question: Do you agree with Giuliani, and would you pay to have your own grandchild killed?

Please answer the question, EV: How do you feel you are doing so far in preventing abortion nation-wide?

OK, Rudy had a "un-nuanced" view on the abotion issue in 1999. You have him! The odd little thing, is that Democrats when seeking higher office, seem to have revelations in one direction, and Pubbies another, on this issue. Far too few have thought it out outside the psephological hothouse, like say, picking someone at random, Torie has, to have at least a seemingly "principled" point of view that can "sell" across zip codes. Maybe politics has something to do with not being Quixotic in one's zip code. Winning is like making sausage. Don't do it at home.
