Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (R), who has formed a presidential exploratory committee, on Wednesday said he favors government funding for some abortions but added in a statement that he "will not seek to change current law," Long Island Newsday reports (Gordon, Long Island Newsday, 4/4).
"Ultimately, [abortion is] a constitutional right, and therefore, if it's a constitutional right, ... you have to make sure people are protected," Giuliani said in an interview with Dana Bash of CNN (Saltonstall, New York Daily News, 4/5).
Giuliani's campaign later issued a statement that he will not seek to change the law known as the Hyde amendment (Long Island Newsday, 4/4). The Hyde amendment, passed in 1976, forbids the use of federal funds to pay for the cost of an abortion except in cases of rape or incest or when a woman's life is in danger (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 8/19/05).
In response to reporters' questions on Thursday in South Carolina, Giuliani said, "The best way to handle funding is to follow the law," adding, "Federal funds are used only in very limited cases for abortion, and it is left for a state-by-state decision. I have expressed previously that I am very comfortable with that" (Santora, New York Times, 4/6). Giuliani on Tuesday reiterated his support for abortion rights but said, "I don't know that I'd do anything as president to try to preserve that. That's a decision for the court" (Balz, Washington Post, 4/5). Earlier this year, Giuliani said he would appoint "strict constructionist" judges to the Supreme Court.
In a February interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News, he also said that a law (S 3) being reviewed by the Supreme Court that bans so-called "partial-birth abortion" should be upheld and that he supports parental notification requirements with a judicial bypass provision for minors seeking abortions (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 3/14). On Thursday, he said that his comments about judicial appointments were not an indication that he would like to see Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case that effectively barred state abortion bans, from being overturned, the AP/Forbes reports (Davenport, AP/Forbes, 4/5). "I'm against abortion," Giuliani said, adding, "I hate it. I wish there never was an abortion, and I would counsel a woman to have an adoption instead of an abortion. ... But, ultimately, I believe it is an individual right, and the woman can make that choice" (Saltonstall, New York Daily News, 4/6).
The general election already happened?
“Freepers can’t put their personal issues aside for the good of not having to say President Clinton again”
So let’s get this straight:
Being against:
Abortion & Roe V Wade
Gun Control
Coddling illegal aliens
CFR
“Hate Crime” legislation
Supporting global warming BS
Are all “personal issues”?
So what isn’t a personal issue? The ones that rudy is for?
The FRiberals DID start their own forum, maybe some of the remaining Rudyites are just waiting for their memberships to be approved.
“UHhh I hate to break the news to you but the general election is the only one that counts. Care to guess where Rudy polls there?”

“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that Giuliani’s lead over Hillary has disappeared. Last month, Giuliani had an eight point lead over Clinton. The month before, it was nine points. Giuliani had been ahead of Clinton in five straight monthly polls dating back to December.”
You were saying?
It looks like they’re avoiding the blowout threads where defending rudy is impossible and deciding behind closed (forum) doors which threads to fight on.
Even though they’re concentrating their effort on fewer threads, they’re still losing those.
I would be willing to pay taxes for his lobotomy.
I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.
-- Ronald Reagan, March 1, 1975
“How many times must I say FR is a conservative site? We do not support abortionism, homosexualism, feminisim, environmentalism, gun control, liberalism, socialism, etc, etc, etc. When I say I suspect we will become even more conservative than we already are, possibly via attrition if nothing else, what do you think I’m referring to? When FR starts pushing hard and I mean hard against abortion, gay marriage, homosexual education forced on our school children, pandering to illegal aliens, gun control, McCaine-Feingold type usurpation, global warming, etc, etc, even if supported or advanced by the GOP, then I fully suspect certain types of moderate/liberal Republican supporters are probably going to be a little uncomfortable here. We will be fighting for traditional American conservatism no matter who we have to fight against and I’m afraid that’s going to piss off some folks.”

That's all I've attempted to do since the day I got here.
Most of the first string Rudybots have defected to the other forum. The new defector site, created by a Rudytard that Jim Robinson told to "get lost!" had some public threads where they were planning and coordinating their attacks here to subvert the conservative mission of this site and demoralize supporters of conservative candidates. It seems that when attention was called to that activity, they restricted all that to the inner circle over there, away from public eyes.
They continue their recruiting efforts here, and they pull Rudytards over to their site kind of like picking lice off of an 800-pound gorilla. They've established a pathetic 50 user membership in little over a month. I encourage them to work a little harder on recruiting as the vermin still left here are a continuing irritation and distraction.
You've got some real anger issues don't you. All your name calling isn't going to shame Conservatives to vote for Rudy. If you don't want Hillary to get elected then you shouldn't support Rudy, because a large part of the base ain't gunna show up.
See the Ronald Reagan quote I just posted (#107).
If you need an explanation you are too far gone.
that worked great in 06 didn’t it.Im through here, too many stuck on stupid freepers.
I saw it and just added it to my profile page. Thanks.
Do any of the following names mean anything to you:
Scoop Jackson, Mo Udall, Gary Hart, Paul Tsongas, Bill Bradley, Jerry Brown and Howard Dean.
Me too!!
And your candidate that beats Hillary is....? still waiting....tick tockWhy assume it is Hillary? It could be Gore!
And why embrace:
...to save a mother's life? You still buy that argument? Most of the time a baby can be saved, by a C Section, NOT abortion... and I know I will probably lose some that even anti abortionst's on this one.... a baby that is conceived even by rape or incest, can be adopted out. Why should they be killed?
