“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."
Slick Willie coined the "safe, legal, and rare" propaganda phrase.
Now we're hearing it from Slick Rudy.
That is almost a word for word quote from Hillary (as you seem to be pointing out.)
Exactly. This was Bill Clinton's line about making abortion "safe, legal, and rare."
I think all Republicans tempted by Giuliani should take a good hard look at California. I was here on FR four years when a lot of good pro-life conservatives voted for Arnold, disdaining those that claimed they could not compromise their principles so far as to support the winning candidate.
Today Arnold is hawking tax increases (or whatever he calls them) and government healthcare. Where are these California conservatives now? Whatever is left of the conservative wing of the Cali GOP has been placed on the shelf, and will be weakened politically because the head of their party ignores them.
So let's remember this example when we talk about being "practical enough" to support Giuuliani over Clinton or Obama.
