I've said that I'll uphold a woman's right of choice, that I will fund abortion so that a poor woman is not deprived of a right that others can exercise, and that I would oppose going back to a day in which abortions were illegal.
I think that is a pretty clear statement that Rudy wants to use government money to fund abortions for poor women. It's an old quote, but people tell me Rudy is great because he doesn't change his positions.

Feb.21. Giuliani meets with Conservative Party leaders, who had been disturbed by his earlier comments on abortion. Giuliani assures them that he is personally opposed to abortion, does not favor government funding or criminal penalties, does favor an exemption in cases of rape or incest, and is in favor of overturning the Supreme Court's decision legalizing abortion, Roe vs. [Wade]. Despite assurances, Giuliani does not win the Conservative party endorsement.
