But Rudy is openly pro-abortion here and his statement contradicts what he said in the past. So how can we trust him overall the other issues then?

We need to leave room for our candidates to grow and to repent bad choices earlier in their career. Reagan, for instance, signed the pivotal '68 abortion bill in CA. And he didn't repent and come out as a pro-lifer until 1976, a year before his run for the GOP nomination.

Rudy won't repent his error and I think he is proud of his 'noble' stand for women. He is a secular liberal. And that's one reason why his personal life is such a mess. As for his successes in NYC, one can simply observe that he was a practical and law-and-order liberal, generally more competent that the full blown loonies the Dims offer the voters there.

BULLoney! That is wrong. Its been posted to ad nauseam. The year was 1967 when Reagan signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act into law. By 1968 Reagan had regretted his decision of the year before. Reagan opposed Roe V Wade after it became the law of the land through judicial fiat in 1973.
