2001? I presume that was a campaign appearance (for mayor of New York City)?

Anyway, he has never denied being "pro choice" and has never flip-flopped on the issue. I think that he was using the term "right to choose" in the vernacular rather than in a strict Constitutional sense. Again, he said the other night that he likes and would appoint judges like Alito and Roberts, and he thinks that laws regarding abortion should be left to the states and their legislatures. And THAT is anti-Roe v. Wade.

Ah, we crossed. You say he will appoint good judges. Here are the facts:

While he was the “Republican Mayor” of New York City he appointed more than 60 men and women to the Civil, Criminal, and Family Court benchs. In all of those judicial appointment only two were Republican.

All of his other judical appointments were either registered Liberals or registered Democrats. As the “Republican Mayor” he had appointment power over more than 70 full commissioners in more than 50 City agencies, yet at no time during his administration did REPUBLICANS account for more than 10% of those appointments.

He even appointed Chuck Schumers wife as the City’s Department of Transportation Commissioner.
