There is one thing I blame Rudy for not doing and that is not emphasizing that he isn't going to do anything much different than any Republican president has done so far, including Reagan.

Maybe it's just me, but I suspect that's because this is not really where he stands at all.

Let's not forget that Bill Clinton expanded federal funds to include family planning counseling, and federal funding for abortions to groups overseas. GW Bush reversed Clinton's expanded federal funding and prohibited federal funding for family planning overseas.

And that's exactly the point. Based on Rudy Giuliani's own track record and previous statements on this issue, I have a hard time believing he would not be closer to Bill Clinton than to George W. Bush on this.

What kind of redeeming qualities can a candidate have on this issue if he's received a grade of 100 from NARAL?

He didn't say he would change the law beyond where it stands right now, meaning federal funding for abortions in cases of rape, incest, and for the health of the mother. I don't get it. Are you saying he is lying? In that case I would ask you, why didn't he just lie and say he was pro-life? He knows it's a tough road for a pro-choice candidate in the GOP primaries.
