From everything I am getting, he believes the social issues belong at the State level and so do I!

Overturning Roe v. Wade would return abortion laws to the state level. Giuliani opposes overturning Roe v. Wade.

The Federal Marriage Amendment, co-authored by strict constructionist, states rights champion, Judge Robert Bork would have allowed states to outlaw gay marriage/civil unions/domestic partnerships at their level without federal judicial activist interference. Giuliani opposed the Federal Marriage Amendment.

Giuliani opposed the Partial Birth Abortion ban that the was passed by a Republican-controlled Congress and signed into law by President Bush. Some want to pretend that he opposed the ban because they want to say that he believed that it is a state issue. Yet, Giuliani also opposed the New York State Partial Birth Abortion Ban.

There is no evidence that has been provided by anyone here that his social issue positions are based upon them being better legislated at a state level. It is just something that the Rudy-rooters made up to rationalize Giuliani's opposition to the majority of the socially conservative Republican Party Platform. It is an excuse for supporting the most liberal major Republican Presidential candidate in U.S. history.
