There have been a number of posts and reposts of articles trying to discredit Giuliani's record on adoption. Hopefully this article will give a better insight into the truth.

I can’t believe one woman ever has aborted her baby because she’s afraid no one will adopt her. People wait for years to adopt a baby.

We don’t need California, Jersey or New York to be in play to win. As long as the red states stay red, we win. All Rudy would do is turn the red states purple and some of them blue. There’s a winning strategy.

Wow,

You must really think we are stupid.

This is supposed to somehow make-up for his whole-hearted support for all things Abortion-related? His support for Partial-Birth Abortion?

Are we just supposed to forget everything that he has done and said for the last 20 years and believe his followers that somehow, someway it just ain’t so? What are you guys smoking?

I won’t vote for Giuliani. He’s a liberal.

He took fireworks away when I was a kid. That is reason enough for me not to vote for him.

"Theodore B. Olson. good enough for me"

So by this line of reasoning, if Mr. Olson was backing Hillary you would vote for her too?

It's not who is endorsing him that is important.

It is his position on the issues that is important.

All Mr. Olson provides Rudy is cover.

As a result, I have lost a lot of respect for Mr. Olson.

Here's another interesting story:

The Children, Not the Mayor, Grab Adoption Day Spotlight

For Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, it was bound to require a bit of humility. And Mr. Giuliani did not seem to mind much when he was upstaged yesterday at the city's first ''Adoption Saturday,'' a marathon of court hearings at which more than 200 adoptions were completed, thanks to 100 court employees who volunteered their time.

This article engages in gross intellectual dishonesty.

There were NO adoption as an alternative to abortion programs in NYC under Giuliani. NONE of the adoptions that Giuliani takes credit for has anything to do with abortion. The adoption numbers that Giuliani continues to cite were for children between the ages of 0 and 18. These adoptions were for cases where the parents had their children seized by Children's Services or were otherwise declared unfit to be parents. Again, NONE of these quoted adoptions had anything at all to do with providing an alternative for abortion. None.

I've verified this by calling and writing Children's Services in NYC and by reviewing various budgetary and regulatory documents as well as annual reports from NYC. It is not surprising that Giuliani is engaging in this lie. What is surprising - and quite disappointing - is that Ted Olsen has put his good name to continuing Giuliani's lies.

Giulianni’s expressed opinion that the federal government is obliged to subsidize anything defined as a “right” has implications way beyond abortion.

Wow, David Vitter, theres a real family values type guy. Heard tell he “heh” ADOPTED some hookers in his past.

As for Rudy perhaps he could adopt his kids all over after dumping his wife and kids for Judy.

Oh please, Rudy has a history as being for abortion and taxpayer funded abortion.

This adoption hooey is to deflect the truth about Guiliani.

To keep this up is totally absurd.

Notice that Giluliani himself doesn’t want to go into detail about how he”reduced abortions”. He relies on his shills to do it.

If Giuliani supporters keep pressing the “Rudy reduced abortions in NYC”, then Hillary can claim that she and her husband reduced abortions nationwide, thus are more “pro-life”.

Rudy supported NYC as a sanctuary city. Enough said..he will not have my vote.
If people think Rudy is more electable..just wait to see how the MSM and Clinton will smear him after the primaries..they want him as the candidate, because they can kill him with dirt and also drive away some conservatives.
If Rudy wins the primary..we will loose.
