It helps a lot. Most people don't know that Rudy is pro-abortion, they just know him from 9/11.
Guess Bush is a baby killer too?
It's one thing to have moral convictions about abortion. It's another to be an obnoxious zealot.
This heckler makes Rudy look better and pro-lifers look bad.
And when they really start looking at the events surrounding 9/11, they realize that Rooty DID NOTHING to protect a known terrorist target in seven and a half years as mayor leading up to 9/11 and his only actions during and after 9/11 was cheering for the rescue workers.
There is a reason that Admiral Husband E. Kimmel never ran for public office, just like the 'Rats aren't suggesting that Ray Nagin seek higher office. Rooty's failure to protect a known terrorist target would have earned him a trip before a firing squad if he was the mayor of a major city in a country like China.
