There are certainly polar opposite views of Republican abortion proponent Rudy Giuliani's candidacy for president:
Pro-life pro-Rudy
For me and other socially conservative, pro-life voters who are inclined to support Mayor Giuliani, however, there is one bridge he can build to make him acceptable - appoint judicial conservatives to the federal bench.... ~ Blogger Baseball Crank, Feb. 13
Pro-abortion pro-Rudy
Every pro-choice American should be rooting for Giuliani to get the GOP nomination. If an avowedly a pro-choice politician like Rudy Giuliani is able to either muscle out or weasel through the pro-life movement for the GOP nomination, the pro-life political movement is dead. Their credility has a potent or feared political force will be gone. ~ Blogger Mass Eyes & Ears, Feb. 10
I've always tended to get nervous when the other side takes my same position.


Given Giuliani's accolades for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I wonder why some social conservatives believe he would appoint a justice inclined to rule against Roe. The man is a social liberal who claims to "hate" abortion (why, because it's killing?) and yet believes the practice should be protect by law. He also is a supporter of gay marriage and embryonic stem cell research. It's amazing how some are projecting their political positions on Giuliani despite his low and twisted view of justice.
We have a proven track record of social liberalism vs. a vague promise about possible judicial appointments, yet conservative pundits are falling over themselves to endorse this man because they hope he can beat Hillary Clinton. I agree that his nomination in and of itself would spell the end of the pro-life movement as a force in American politics. Perhaps that would inspire pro-lifers to seek new ways of influencing behavior, but it would be a terrible blow nonetheless, and I wonder if we would not soon find the force of law turned against pro-life advocacy even on an interpersonal level--whether the President turned out to be Rudy or the dreaded Hillary.
