What does it mean that Gulianni supports abortion? Would he want his daughter to get one?
He supports Abortion because as a public office holder he carried out the law. In that regard Bush also supports Abortion. His Justice Dept would prosecute anyone interfering with an abortion clinic.
If you insist that Catholics can not further the practice of abortion then no Catholic can hold public office as long as the right to an abortion is the law of the land.
Dear Sabramerican,
If a Catholic political leader says, "I will uphold the laws concerning abortion even as I work to change them, to make abortion illegal" then one might argue that that is acceptable.
But if a Catholic political leader says, "I will uphold the laws concerning abortion, and I believe that they should not be changed," then he is no longer in harmony with the teaching of the Catholic Church.
Regrettably, Mr. Giuliani is of the latter group, not the former. He endorses abortion "rights," and is opposed to any changes regarding them. Leading Catholic figures, including then-Cardinal Ratzinger, currently Pope Benedict XVI, have stated that individuals like these should be barred from the reception of Catholic sacraments.
That's an indication that the fellow who is Pope Benedict XVI views these political leaders as no longer Catholics in good standing.
