Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani tonight joined the members of the National Abortion & Reproductive Rights Action League of New York State (NARAL/NY) for the group's 16th Annual Gala Awards Reception at B. Smith's Restaurant in Manhattan. This year's awards were presented to Wendy Mackenzie, for her work in several pro-choice organizations; Department of Health Commissioner Margaret Hamburg for promoting a policy that reproductive healthcare must be viewed as part of the overall scope of healthcare; Christy Haubegger, founder of the bilingual magazine Latina, which tackles issues like abortion and birth control; and Claudia Crown Ades, who underwent an abortion in her sixth month of a non-viable pregnancy and has worked diligently to keep this procedure legal.
"As many of you may know, I have a long record of support for the struggles women have endured to gain equality in our society," said Mayor Giuliani. "And personally, I've always had great empathy for the obstacles women have had to overcome throughout this century. Perhaps the most intense struggle has been over the right of choice.
"For 25 years, NARAL/NY has worked legislatively and electorally to protect women's access to safe and legal abortion and expand the full range of reproductive rights to all women, regardless of age, race or income," the Mayor added. "I congratulate NARAL/NY for taking the time to honor these outstanding four women and, on behalf of all New Yorkers, I would like to thank each honoree for her strength, dedication, and courageous efforts to ensure that future generations of American women have the right to choose."
He is a sick man.
yada, yada, yada.................
RUN, FRED, RUN!!! :-)
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Nice that you agree with his insipid statements.
And in his second speech to NARAL, in 2000, he praised eugenecist Margaret Sanger.
I wish the Rudy boosters would just say "Rudy is pro-choice, deal with it."
As Rudy himself said, if you don't like his views, vote for someone else. I'll take him up on that suggestion. It's the one honest statement he and his boosters have made in the Rudy abortion debate.
Cueing Rudy support with “Fred made a semi-pro-choice statement in 1994” link in 5....4....3....2....1....
Addressing NARAL is a non-issue?
It debunks Rudy's claim that he is personally anti-abortion. You don't address NARAL - twice - if that is the case. It would be like me saying I'm pro-gun but addressing a Brady rally.
Oops, Rudy addressed them as well.
Giuliani- "Abortion is equal rights."
If he is the nominee, you can probably count me out.
(Has Fred Thompson EVER spoken at an abortion banquet? Has he ever been the keynote speaker at an abortion fundraiser?)
praising leftist vermin like NARAL may make you sleepy, but to a conservative, its a show stopper.
Bella Abzug would be proud of him. Bet she was even in attendence
Keep up the good work posting the TRUTH about liberal RINO-rudy. There's nothing like from the "horses mouth" speeches, articles and video to show that this @sshole has a definite track record of leadership from the LEFT, particularly where abortion and gun control are concerned.
He is a liar. And a pretty good one at that.
Because, despite their claims to the contrary, Rudy cannot win the general election without the socon vote. I forget who said it, but you don't need to fool all the people all the time, just 51% every four years.
Good find, Pissant.
I am so sick of this. If Giuliani wins the Republican nomination, it says so much about the ability of an American to be led like a pathetic little sheep with a rope. You can’t put together a coherent analytical thought if you claim to be an individualist with personal responsiblity and moral clarity, yet want this stupid liberal to be your President.
Inconvenient.
These banquets are fundraisers. They always pass the hat after the speech. Rudy helped NARAL raise money to fight prolifers.
The only way Rudy could be more pro-abortion is if he performed them with his bare hands.
And you're his biggest fan.
