You might be right.
But,,, he has the political character to hold his position as he see it.
I just don’t hold this issue as a major decision metric.
That’s just me - I won’t try to convince anyone otherwise.
But,,, he has the political character to hold his position as he see it. I just don’t hold this issue as a major decision metric. I dunno, this seems to be a triple whammy:
- It's a pro-abortion position. "Personally opposed" doesn't cut it when a 'rat says it, why should it be different if someone with an "R" says it?
- It presents a poor understanding of the Constitution to call abortion a "right". Guiliani is probably referring to it as the current law of the land, but this type of phrasing will not sit well with Constitutionalists and social conservatives.
- Claiming that because something is an individual right therefore compels me, the taxpayer, to fund it for someone else is both morally wrong and fiscally non-conservative.
I don't see any way to spin this other than really, really bad for Guiliani.
