Giuliani gets a low F thus far for how he's handled his abortion position. How could a potential Republican frontrunner for 2008 have entered this campaign season without a clear plan for dealing with this? It's no secret that Giuliani is pro-choice. When will America's Mayor finally stand up and stop mitigating or apologizing for his stance?
His campaign website (admittedly well-designed) deals with abortion really tepidly:
"But Rudy understands that this is a deeply personal moral dilemma, and people of good conscience can disagree respectfully."Warms your heart, doesn't it? I'm getting visions of annual Giuliani family reunions, where everybody sits around and disagrees respectfully about abortion. Too bad for Giuliani that politics don't work that way, and for good reason. The abortion debate won't be solved by listening indefinitely to "good conscience" appeals from both sides. It will be won by the most convincing and articulate side, which (no matter which it is) is not likely to include Rudy Giuliani.
