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.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gratefully, the tide is changing. One by one people are coming to see that abortion is the killing of a person.

While he was the “Republican Mayor” of New York City he appointed more than 60 men and women to the Civil, Criminal, and Family Court benchs. In all of those judicial appointment only two were Republican.

All of his other judical appointments were either registered Liberals or registered Democrats. As the “Republican Mayor” he had appointment power over more than 70 full commissioners in more than 50 City agencies, yet at no time during his administration did REPUBLICANS account for more than 10% of those appointments.

He even appointed Chuck Schumers wife as the City’s Department of Transportation Commissioner.

“And even as we grieve for those who lost their lives, and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones, we may be able to find some sort of meaning in this tragedy by using it as a catalyst to revive national gun control efforts.”
Rudolph Giuliani

At the first Republican debate in May, Giuliani was alone among the GOP candidates in offering a less-than-robust affirmation when asked whether it would be a good day if the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade ruling.

"It would be OK," Giuliani said. "It would be OK to repeal it."

But, he added: "It would be OK also if a strict constructionist viewed it as precedent" and kept the law intact.
