Thank you very much for inviting me to say a few words of welcome. This event shows that people of different political parties and different political thinking can unite in support of choice. In doing so, we are upholding a distinguished tradition that began in our city starting with the work of Margaret Sanger and the movement for reproductive freedom that began in the early decades of the 20th century.
As a Republican who supports a woman's right to choose, it is particularly an honor to be here. And I would like to explain, just for one moment, why I believe being in favor of choice is consistent with the philosophy of the Republican Party. In fact, it might be more consistent with the philosophy of the Republican Party. Because the Republican Party stands for the idea that you have to restore more freedom of choice, more opportunity, more opportunity for people to make their own choices rather than the government dictating those choices. Republicans stand for lower taxation because we believe that people can make better choices with their money than the government will make for them, and that ultimately frees the economy and produces more political freedom. We believe that, yes, government is important, but that the private sector is actually more important in solving our problems.
So it is consistent with that philosophy to believe that in the most personal and difficult choices that a woman has to make with regard to a pregnancy, those choices should be made based on that person's conscience and that person's way of thinking and feeling. The government shouldn't dictate that choice by making it a crime or making it illegal.
I think that's actually a much more consistent position. Many Republicans support that position, but you don't hear that as often. For example, in a recent poll by American Viewpoint, 65 percent of Republicans supported changing the plank in the Republican platform that calls for a constitutional ban on abortion. That's 6.5 out of every 10 Republicans. And over 80 percent of Republicans believe that the decision with regard to an abortion should be made by a woman, her doctor, and her family rather than dictated by the government.
[Applause]
In any case, I just wanted you to know that many of my fellow Republicans stand with you on this issue. So I thank you, I thank NARAL for taking the lead in establishing freedom of choice for all of us, and as the Mayor of New York City, I thank you for being here in New York City.
Im thinking of hating everyone with a passion...this way I can keep my blood pressure up.
"It's so nice to know that we can post spam now!
Even though it may now be allowed, I'm not gonna do it.
The conservative candidate that emerges after the RINO's fail.
It was your statement not mine. Go back and read what you wrote and think about it.
Frankly, I couldn't find anything objectionable about the interview. You seem to be on a mission....who is it that you support so strongly that you would destroy Rudy for?
"...your complete disregard for the 11th Commandment only damages your case."
The 11th Commandment forbids posting the truth about people?
This early, I haven't chosen a candidate. It will NOT be a gungrabbing crossdresser who supports abortion on demand. Not now. Not never.
Yes, he will go over well with "everyday people".
I'm glad you're slowly seeing the light and moving into the Rudy camp.
You know I really dont care about who wins at this point (its way too early) I just do not want a Democrat running stuff again ...we cant afford it
So your ultimate goal is someone's failure? I hope you don't work for any of my vendors. You must be a model employee.
LOL, english is a foreign tongue for you?
Answer his question or are you really a Dem trying to stir up trouble?? Your answer is a bit coy.
As a prolifer I can understand how the DNC is going to try to nail Rudy. Answer his question.
Pray for W and Our Troops
And your 'ulimate goal' is to elect a gun grabber? How liberal of you. You must be a 'model' employee.
ROTFLMAO!
Correction: It's "Obama Osama Namma Jamma"
Freedom is about authority.
You let a bunch of petty criminals run ragged over your city, so much so as you are afraid to go out at night, are you free?
You have a bunch of miscreants murder and kill and loot (like in New Orleans), so much so that you fear for your safety are you really free?
Think about it instead of just bashing Rudy. His comment makes sense.
The 11th Commadment was written by President Ronald Wilson Reagan and you apparently have no regard for it or him. You are a phony! Go back to the DNC and get some more marching orders.
Pray for W and Our Troops
