He is anti-abortion, but he believes that making abortion illegal forces women to seek out back alley abortions when they cannot be persuaded to have the baby.
I am strongly pro-life and I agree with you that abortion is disgusting (and murder/sin).
On the other hand, I also believe that premarital sex is a sin and that sin leads to pregnancy.
We have seen that legislative prohibitions for the most part don't stop such sins as these.
I believe the solution in the long run is a matter of educating women (and men) so that they understand the implications of an abortion (and there are tremendous psychological ramifications from having an abortion) and so that they are offered the opportunity to have the baby and put it up for adoption if they like without the ridiculous social stigma. In fact, having a baby, even if putting it up for adoption, is a heroic and loving act.
Defeating sin cannot be done legislatively. It must be done by spreading the word that sin kills the soul and the spirit.

You're right about that, but the government has the duty to protect those who can't protect themselves. That's why we have laws against battery, other types of killing, etc.
You can't effectively legislate against sin that only hurts the sinner. You can and should legislate against sin that hurts someone else too.
Dear Dark Skies,
I'm not really interested in debating with you whether or not abortion should be legal.
For those of us who are ACTUALLY pro-life, we don't accept it when people describe themselves as "pro-life," but are adamantly opposed to protecting the lives of unborn children in law, as does Mr. Giuliani.
Mr. Giuliani is in favor of legal abortion on demand. It may not be the choice he would make for himself, but he insists that it is a woman's RIGHT to buy the murder of her baby.
He is even in favor of maintaining the legality of partial birth abortion, which is really nothing other than infanticide.
He also insists that poor women have such a right to buy the murder of their children that the rest of us must be obligated to pay for them through our tax dollars.
Mr. Giuliani is a pro-abort.
I will not ever vote for the scumbag.
Neither will millions of ACTUAL pro-lifers and social conservatives.
