So pro-lifers should be heartened because Mr. Giuliani didn't do anything to keep the abortion rate high?

Yeah, right.

According to the state Office of Vital Statistics, total abortions performed in New York City between 1993 (just before Giuliani arrived) and 2001 (as he departed) fell from 103,997 to 86,466 -- a 16.86 percent decrease.

According to the CDC, from 1995 to 2000, total abortions in the US declined from 1.211 million to .857 million - or a decline of about 29 percent.

So abortion in NYC while Rudy was mayor declined at a rate roughly half that of the country as a whole.

OK, next attempt to paint Rudy as a pro-lifer...

Get a load of this.

We're supposed to be GRATEFUL to Mr. Giuliani for not making the laws and regulations of New York City even MORE pro-abort than they are!

How's that go over with you, fellow social conservatives and pro-lifers?

"reduce the number of abortions"? That's what Hillary says.

I guess this means he's never had an abortion...

Good grief.

“I don’t like abortion,” Giuliani said in South Carolina’s The State newspaper last November 21. “I don’t think abortion is a good thing. I think we ought to find some alternative to abortion, and that there ought to be as few as possible.”

What politician *doesn't* say this? Even Hillary called abortion "wrong."

Most Americans, including Republicans, are pro-choice. Rudy's on the right track.

There's more than one way to be "pro life." Refusing to let Arafat enter Avery Fisher Hall, and refusing tainted Saudi donations are two that I can think of.

ML/NJ

I gotten so accustomed to the crabbiness of the Rudy-haters I miss them when they fail to show up.

Sounds like Hillary Clinton's talking points.

Again...what would the President do to stop abortions? What did Bush do? I thought you wanted it to go back to the States anyway. I'll be honest and tell you that making abortion the number one issue is not only foolish, but dangerous for the country.

One Hit Wonders I call them - they apparently harp on only one issue and that's their mantra. I see they called for backup so we should be bombarded on this post!

So they're telling me I should be happy because it's not like he's organizing a bus caravan to the clinic and performing them himself?

Rrrrriiiiight.

Rudy G (and all his camp-followers, cheerleaders, and sycophants) can pound sand.
