that is a far cry from his previous “it’s a constitutional right” stance. Saying it is up to the states means Roe v. Wade being overturned. Is that what he really means?
“Is that what he really means?”
No, what he is trying to do is get people opposed to his pro-abortion belief to vote for him by clouding the issue...
What he’s saying is “up to the states” is to decide whether or not to publicly fund the abortions of poor women.
He’s repeatedly stated that abortion is a constitutional “right,” so obviously, in his mind, the legality of abortion isn’t “up to the states.”
As well, his view is that even if it should be up to the states to fund abortions for poor women, nonetheless, states should do so. He believes in public funding of abortions generally. While Mayor of New York City, he was quite adamant in continuing the funding of all abortions for poor women.

I think what Rudy is saying is that he’ll say anything to try to get votes.
Regardless of where one stands on the abortion issue, Roe is bad law. It is a complete usurption of states rights and, as such, should be overturned. Let the states decide, as was the case pre-Roe.
As for Rudy, again, he’ll say anything to try to get votes. Hopefully, the GOP is smart enough to see through his cynical and ridiculous attempts at pandering. Rudy is a pro-choicer who now claims abortion is an issue that should be left up to the states? He’s a gun grabber who now claims he’d support the genuine constitutional right to Keep and Bear Arms as President? Get real.

No. What he really means is that he'll say whatever it takes to be elected president.
How do you get that from what he said in SC? He said that a woman has the right to kill her unborn child, how is that any different from what he has said in the past?
