FLIP-FLOP ALERT: Giuliani shifts position on abortion to the right

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/10/us/politics/10rudy.html?hp&ex=1171170000&en=83e23c8316380a01&ei=5094&partner=homepage

As he prepares for a possible run for president — a road that goes deep into the heart of conservative America — Rudolph W. Giuliani takes with him a belief in abortion rights that many think could derail his bid to capture the Republican nomination.

But in recent weeks, as he has courted voters in South Carolina and talked to conservative media outlets, Mr. Giuliani has highlighted a different element of his thinking on the abortion debate. He has talked about how he would appoint “strict constructionist” judges to the Supreme Court — what abortion rights advocates say is code among conservatives for those who seek to overturn or limit Roe v. Wade, the 1973 court ruling declaring a constitutional right to abortion.

The effect has been to distance himself from a position favoring abortion rights that he espoused when he ran for mayor of New York City, where most voters favor abortion rights.

“I hate it,” he said of abortion in a recent interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News. “I think abortion is something that, as a personal matter, I would advise somebody against. However, I believe in a woman’s right to choose. I think you have to ultimately not put a woman in jail for that.”

It's a race to who can flip flip the most for the rightwing nutjobs!

These Republican sycophants are all alike and will pander to the right-wing of the party--first McCain, now Giuliani. To those Dems who trust both of them, please take note.

but you never know.

to fully assimilate the entire wacko RW fundy POV within the next few weeks (days?). MKJ

Next, he'll start backtracking on gay rights.

abortion. So a bunch of blah blah blah. Asswiper.

watching these guys debate.

He's still way too librul for the Talibornagains who run the GOP. Only serious beltway crack smokers think he has any sort of a chance at that nomination.
