Not at all. As long as abortion is legal in this country a poor woman has the right to abortion and can sue for funding, especially in the case of rape or incest. Rudy is not for public funding of all abortions, contrary to the way the far right is trying to portray him. I am against all abortions but agree with pollsters like Frank Luntz and others that abortion, guns and gays is not “THE” issue in this election.
Of course abortion is not ‘the’ issue. However, it seems to me that much of Rudy’s support is coming from people that are teetering on the edge of not trusting him. He just pushed a large number of those people over the edge.
IMHO, this is a huge moment in his campaign that sheds a lot of light on Rudy’s ineptitude as a politician and his lack of strength as a candidate. And that’s coming from a guy who has supported and voted for Rudy in the past and has supported him as a presidential candidate as well.
Obviously you ignored what was said and who said it in the interview. The reporterette read a statement Rudy made in 89 that said he was for public funding for abortion for the poor. And he agreed with that prior statement in the interview. He didn't say only for rape or interest. It was the reporerette that said "some" abortions, not Rudy.
Only until the back lash hit yesterday did he revise his state to limit it to the Hyde amendment. He's spinnig like a top. But that's NOT what he said on Wednesday nor in 89 when he was for it for the poor.
But I see you are easily deceived so I'm sure you'll ignore that too.
