Ooops….
“Ultimately, it’s a constitutional right, and therefore if it’s a constitutional right, ultimately, even if you do it on a state by state basis, you have to make sure people are protected,” Giuliani said in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash in Florida’s capital city.
A video clip of the then-mayoral candidate issuing a similar declaration in 1989 in a speech to the “Women’s Coalition” appeared recently on the Internet.
“There must be public funding for abortions for poor women,” Giuliani says in the speech that is posted on the video sharing site YouTube. “We cannot deny any woman the right to make her own decisions about abortion.”Source: CNN.com – CNN Political Ticker
That is simply a little bit scary. I may love Giuliani for his steadfastness regarding our Islamic foes but I do not enjoy funding abortions. His reasoning is not very comforting either.
Declaring that because it is a constitutional right I must fund that right has me worried. Am I supposed to buy first amendment rights for loudmouths who cannot buy a minute on the tube? Maybe that loudmouth chucklehead wants a Super Bowl minute? Or perhaps I need to fund my next door neighbors desire to exercise his 2nd Amendment rights by purchasing that sweet Super Match M1A from Springfield he has been lusting over.
Or maybe its because its about poor…maybe its because the Republican party is changing into the Democratic party of the 60’s where need meant everything. Naturally the current Democratic party has moved far past judging handing my money out based on mere need. No at this point the Democratic party doesn’t even play like need drives the handouts. Now it is simply they know better than I do what to do with my money. Always counted on the Republicans to slow that crap down.
Good to know where Giuliani stands on the issue. Squarely with whomever needs my money has some sort of claim on it. Well sorry folks but need does not impress me. And those politicians who think I should give up my right to my money based on need do not impress me. No matter how steadfast they are regarding the war. There are others who understand my rights to my labor who are also steadfast on the war.
