On the contentious issue of abortion -- where many simply want to know where a candidate stands -- the debate perhaps created a problem for Giuliani while Romney got a chance to explain why he switched sides.
The former New York mayor, who stands out in the 10-man race because he calls himself "pro-choice," appeared to waffle when candidates were asked if they favored the repeal of the landmark Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling guaranteeing women the right to abortion.

The debate showed some fissures among the Republican 2008 hopefuls: They were divided on the need for national identification cards and whether Congress was right to inject itself in the Terry Schiavo right-to-die case.

Still, they managed to spell out their differences on a variety of issues, including abortion, stem cell research and congressional intervention in the Terri Schiavo right-to-die case

IMO, the issue re: Terri is NOT about congress injected itself. There was SO MUCH CORRUPTION in the State of Florida. Why was the corruption that targeted Terri never investigated? Why did Fl AG crist, now the governor ABANDON TERRI but the State just voted to give a paralyzed young lady 8.5 mil and the family of Martin Anderson (he was murdered by Fl LE. Where's the Schindler's FIVE MIL TOO? They are paying off families imo to get the black vote and Terri wasn't black. She was robbed and then they killed her. She was the wrong race and sex.
governor crist is the BIGGEST PANDERER bar none. when he is on the news and almost cries saying "justice", it is disgusting. He has no idea what he's talking about. He's a death cultist.
Rudy does the worst job at flip flopping on abortion of any candidate I have ever heard. But now the less-informed folks should understand that he’s not pro-life, too.
And here’s his answer on Terri:
MR. GIULIANI: The family was in dispute. That’s what we have courts for. And the better place to decide that in a much more — I think in a much fairer and even in a deeper way is in front of a court.
