"GIULIANI: If it doesn't have provision for the mother I wouldn't support the legislation. If it has provision for the life of the mother I would support

Think that pretty well puts that "he doesn't support PBA" to rest."

"If it doesn't have provision for the mother I wouldn't support the legislation" makes it sound as if he would support it if there was a "health of the mother" exception. The "health of the mother" exception is an old trick of the pro-abortion crowd, since that exception basically ensures that no abortions are banned at all, since the abortionist can always claim that the woman's "health" (which, pursuant to case law, includes "mental health") may be jeopardized if she has a baby. A couple of hundred pro-abortion Congressmen voted for a sham substitute amendment to the PBA ban that putatively banned all late-term abortions but included that huge "health of the mother" loophole big wnough to drive a Mack truck through. Rudy's views are simular to those of the most extremist of those pro-abortion zealots, who did not support the PBA ban when the sham substitute amendment was voted down.
