Rudy Giuliani

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — One of the top pro-abortion groups in the country [NARAL, the National Abortion Rights Action League] told its membership last week that several of the main Republican presidential contenders couldn’t get its support because they’re pro-life on abortion. Of the leading names, only pro-abortion ex-New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was not included for criticism.

Obviously NARAL doesn’t seem to think he’s serious about appointing “strict constructionists” either. This should be proof to any pro-lifer still waffling on whether or not it would be acceptable to vote for Giuliani, that it, indeed, is not.

ThompsonAnd what about potential candidate Fred Thompson? Much has been said about an LA Times article claiming that he once lobbied for a pro-abortion group, but NARAL’s not buying it:

“Fred Thompson is no better” than the other Republican candidates, according to [NARAL president Nancy] Keenan. “During his seven years in the U.S. Senate, he voted anti-choice 44 times out of 46 choice-related issues. He has called Roe v. Wade ‘bad law’ and received a 100 percent voting record from the National Right to Life Committee.”
