Abortion: Did President Bush do anything about abortion? Did he engineer the Supreme Court to stop all abortion, or even the federal funding of abortion? No. I’m glad about the ban on partial birth, but I’m recognizing that the President can do little to nothing about abortion, unless there is a new make up in the Supreme Court.

Pro Gay? I am not anti gay; I know some gay people who also make wonderful parents. I don’t think they should have special rights but equal rights are fine with me.

Guns? I’ve never owned one. Of the three things you talk about here, the only one that I may be concerned about is guns but do you think Rudy really wants to take your guns?
I don’t have a problem with Rudy’s thoughts on gun control if he is true to what he says here to Sean Hannity.

First of all, the PBA ban went before SCOTUS and was upheld by SCOTUS because Bush signed the PBA ban and nominated two solid judges.

Clinton vetoed a PBA ban. Rudy supported that veto.

And give the current judges time. I don't know if Kennedy would vote to overturn Roe. But I have a feeling, with O'Connor off the court, that he would vote to uphold some pretty significant state restrictions.

So a president's pro-life views do matter. Big time.

Of the three things you talk about here, the only one that I may be concerned about is guns but do you think Rudy really wants to take your guns?

Gawd, just check his long history of taking guns from legal gun owners and permit holders, calling for more federal gun laws, supporting the Brady Center, and suing gun manufacturers (in the process defining valid reasons for owning a gun as hunting and law enforcement - not self defense).

So please educate yourself about Rudy. I initially thought if I had to, I could vote for him. I no longer feel that way after finding out his long, liberal and sordid history.

More gun grabber education needed.

Have you not noticed that any time “equal” rights are declared, that means a group becomes a federally protected “special” class? We all have God given “equal” rights as God’s children. People of all nations and all tribes and all tongues are part of God’s Kingdom. All we have to do is follow Him. When we resort to a Pagan society, we only have God to fear.
