Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told CNN Wednesday he supports public funding for some abortions, a position he advocated as mayor and one that will likely put the GOP presidential candidate at odds with social conservatives in his party.

Will any of FR's Rudybots try to defend this? Methinks not.

I’ll defend it - he has made his point known for many many years.

I repeat.

CHOICE has nothing to do with the Presidency.

It is a false negative - and a litmus test with no relevance to being POTUS.

Sure they will. This is an insignificant issue according to them. The only issue that matters is the WOT and since RINO Rudy supposedly will stand up to the islamofascists, any other issue is secondary this irrelevant. Also, RINO Rudy is the only candidate the Republicans have that can defeat HRC.

And no, I’m not making this up.

The language is slanted here - Rudy’s quote is framed by the abortion issue, but in actually I read him as supporting state’s rights to choose whether or not to allow and/or support financially.

He makes no promise to protect “abortion rights” across the board or to fund them universally.

Legally it’s a simple finding of fact and finding of law — rational stances both; that abortion is legal at the current time, and that he is in no position to ban it, or deny state’s rights to support it financially in its current legal state, defined as an at times “necessary” medical procedure.
