What were Hitler, Stalin and Mao? As far as I know, none of them ever personally killed anyone (except in combat) either.

Gnerally whoever invokes Hitler in an argument loses. In any case your analogy is sloppy. There is no debate that Hitler, Stalin and Mao ordered millions of people to be murdered. First, Rudy never ordered anyone to have an abortion. Second there is no public consensus that abortion is murder. Many think it is. Many think it is not at all. And many think that killing a fetus is wrong, but not the same as killing a living breathing person. That’s why majorities oppose late term abortions often oppose some restrictions such as on late term abortions.

Anyway, comparing someone who personally opposes abortion, but does not favor outlawing it to totalitarian dictators directly ordering millions of men, women and children to their deaths shows a lack of proportion and judgement.
