Supreme Court Upholds Federal Abortion Ban
From Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: “For the first time since Roe, the Court blesses a prohibition with no exception protecting a woman’s health.”
“The Supreme Court reached the correct conclusion in upholding the congressional ban on partial birth abortion. I agree with it.”
Giuliani earlier in the week per anti-choice website:
Former New York Mayor and Republican presidential candidate Rudolf “Rudy” Giuliani told supporters in Iowa that Republicans needs to “get beyond” pro-life issues and choose a candidate who can win the presidency in 2008.
…”Our party has to get beyond issues like that,” said Giuliani in response to a questioner’s fear that abortion is dividing the party.“Our party is going to grow and we are going to win in 2008 if we are a party characterized by what we’re for, not if we’re a party that’s known for what we’re against,” Giuliani said in reference to abortion.
From the compilation of Giuliani video’s which made the rounds during CPAC:
Narrator: Giuliani was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call “partial birth abortion” something Bush strongly supports.
Giuliani: No I have not supported that and I don’t see my position on that changing.

Re Comment No.1
This is the most relevant and insightful thing you can say about this decision, and Giuliani’s 180.
I can’t even understand your comment about “liberals’ fear of Giuliani”?
This liberal’s view is this: What is to fear from Julie Annie? Any candidate who has embraced the Bush agenda, as Giuliani does, and won’t stand up on his hind legs and say, “We are getting out of Iraq when I am elected” doesn’t have a snowball’s chance of being elected in 2008.
What’s to fear?
Well said nrglaw, though I’d have thought you’d learn by now that most of matt’s comments are unintelligible or nonsensical.
silly nrglaw, check your electoral math again
giuliani leads clinton/obama in PA, NJ, Florida, Conn, Ohio, and Michigan, double digits in nj, pa, and florida to be exact. he is only single digits behind in NY. there is much to fear about a republican who can flip strong blue states with such ease. he is a democrat’s electoral nightmare.
Something to say?
yea…too bad his numbers will only increase….. the liberals’ fear of giuliani is so transparent, ah i love it.
