Still waiting for the cite on that one.
Murdock -- who is a strong supporter of Giuliani for president in 2008 (as am I) -- does not run from Giuliani's past statements in favor of the pro-choice position. But he points out that during Giuliani's tenure as mayor, the number of abortions fell in New York City by more than the national average, and Giuliani did not actively promote policies that would have led to an increase in the number of abortions.
NARAL and Planned Parenthood would be VERY surprised to hear that their boy Rudy decreased the number of NYC abortions.
Rudy is not just "pro-abortion." Rudy is joined at the hip to the most radical pro-abortion elements---NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and the rest of the abortion-on-demand-with-the-govt-picking-up-the-tab crowd.
A LOOK AT RUDY'S RADICAL PRO-ABORT PAST IS A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE
Giuliani used his Mayoral term to advance abortion even though as Mayor he had no official mandate nor did he have a legislative role to do so.
From the FEC database: 04/24/1999 Donations
New York State NARAL, Inc Women's Health PAC
NARAL donated exclusively to Democrat candidates with one exception----Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani accepted $1,000 from NARAL in 1999. NARAL gave $250 to Hillary Rodham Clinton. NARAL gave $1000---4 times as much-----to pro-abortion Giuliani.
Clearly, NARAL trusted Rudy's pro-abortion credentials, and Rudy's willingness to advance NARAL's radical abortion-on-demand agenda. NARAL Honored Mayor Rudy for his efforts---he was the honored guest speaker and made The Opening Remarks at NARAL's "Champions of Choice" Luncheon.
Giuliani's 1994 and 1998 tax returns show $500 in donations to Planned Parenthood, the country's largest abortion provider. In 1996, Mayor Giuliani issued a proclamation declaring "Planned Parenthood Day" in New York City, while praising the group's eugenicist founder, Margaret Sanger.
In a CNN interview, Giuliani indicated he does not support even a modest ban on the gruesome partial-birth abortion procedure saying, "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing." Giuliani also indicated he would have upheld President Clinton's veto of the partial-birth abortion ban.
Mayor Rudy told Phil Donahue he'd give his daughter the money for an abortion (to get rid of his own grandchild).
Rudy Giuliani quote, 11/3/89: "There must be public funding for abortion for poor women. We can not deny any woman the right to make her own decision about abortion because she lacks resources. I have also stated that I disagree with President Bush's veto last week of public funding for abortion. "

The pro-abort savages have commenced the killing of the innocents----who knows where it will end, with a radical pro-abort type like Rudy handling the levers of government, and NARAL whispering in his ear?
