As a pro-life ‘conservative’ I consider myself Republican because the pary declares on its platform that the right to life of the unborn must be protected. So I am a little concerned about the person who many consider one of the Republican front runners. Rudy Giuliani is very popular and a proven leader, mostly thanks to his wonderful performance as … Read More
Giuliani Who?
Hello there! You have probably noticed that I’ve taken a mini blogging break. I’m in Florida visiting relatives for an early Christmas and will return home tomorrow. But I did have something I wanted to comment on recently. Mayor Giuliani seems to have been out of the media spotlight lately in the wake of all the “Huckabuzz.” I’m telling you, … Read More
Giuliani ’08, the Movie
Found this interesting little video via: Stop the ACLU It is part 2 of a (so far) 3 part series (parts 1 and 3 deal with marriage and gun control). By the end of part 3 a rebellion is rising among grassroots conservative bases all over the country…
NARAL For Rudy?
Not quite yet. But, in an interview with the Huffington Post, the abortion rights group’s political director, Elizabeth Shipp said that it: “would help” the pro-choice movement if a Republican proved it was possible to win the presidency while still supporting abortion rights. “The Republican Party used to be about the conservative principles of limited government intervention in private life,” … Read More
Christians Against Rudy
I suppose it’s time to put in my two cents on this matter. I have made it no secret that I am thoroughly opposed to Rudy Giuliani becoming the Republican presidential nominee. That is my primary focus right now. There are many people who think that Rudy does not have a chance, at this point, to win the nomination because … Read More
Giuliani and Adoption
When asked about abortion in yesterday’s Presidential debate Rudy Giuliani referred to, as he frequently does, the need to emphasize adoption as an abortion alternative. This is something that pro-lifers have always supported, but many of Rudy’s adoption claims leave questions that need to be answered. First is his claim that adoption number rose during his time as mayor of … Read More
NARAL Does Not Oppose 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 … Read More
Rudy’s Position Bad for Republicans/Conservatives
From National Review Online, by Ramesh Ponnuru (emphasis added): In a way, Giuliani’s nomination would cause more trouble for the pro-life cause than his election would. The pro-life cause can survive without a pro-life president: It emerged from the Clinton years stronger than it had been at their beginning. But it will find it harder to survive without a pro-life … Read More
Does Giuliani’s Position Make Sense?
Michael Gerson tackles this question today in the Washington Post. In early debates and statements, he has set out his views on this topic with all the order and symmetry of a freeway pileup. His argument comes down to this: “I hate abortion,” which is “morally wrong.” But “people ultimately have to make that choice. If a woman chooses that, … Read More
Can’t Trust Rudy
Man, I’m really picking on this guy, huh? I might not spend so much time on this if it wasn’t so important. Please check out Jay Anderson’s post at Pro Ecclesia on Giuliani’s partial birth abortion stance (I think if I tried to do my own post on this I’d just end up copying the same thing). It is worth … Read More
