The WaPost story on Rudy's recent abortion speech also contains a catalogue of all of his statements and positions on abortion over the years, and how they've changed (and sometimes changed back):

THe leader of some pro-life group had a good line about Rudy's position.

He said something like 'how can you say abortion is morally wrong but up to the woman to decide? thats like saying segregation is morally wrong but should be up to the shopkeeper'

I feel pretty much the same way he represents. I oppose abortion on moral and social grounds, but I do not favor the reversing of Roe-Wade. Why? I don't think it is at all practical. The genie's out of the bottle and I for one do not believe you can put it back in by reversing the calendar.

What I favor is improving the adoption process and making it final - not a loan of a child, making late term procedures more difficult to obtain, more and more and more education and continued development of morning-after pills. In short, I favor steps to reduce the number of abortions that occur, rather than banningthem outright.

But believe me - if I thought banning them again was workable I'd be for it.

Rudy Vows to Make U.S. Safe for Democrat Policies

by Scott Ott

(2007-05-13) — Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani this week launched a new phase in his campaign, speaking out boldly for abortion rights, gun control and gay rights, while maintaining that he’s the best candidate to protect U.S. citizens from terrorists.

Proclaiming himself a “tough man for a tough job,” Mr. Giuliani said, “I’m the only Republican candidate with the guts and the know-how to make America safe for progressive social policies.”

In what’s sure to become a popular passage in his regular stump speech, the former New York City mayor adopted a Hillary-esque accent and cadence, telling an audience at Houston Baptist College, “When the Republican party nominates me, we’ll be making a statement, my conservative friends. We’ll be saying, we’re not afraid of terrorists anymore. We’re not afraid of restricting the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms anymore. We’re not afraid to give tax money to women to abort their unwanted fetuses anymore. And we’re not afraid to give gays all the legal rights of marriage anymore.”

Mr. Giulini added that by the end of his eight years in the White House, “All the traditional Republican bogeymen will be slain and we’ll have nothing left to fear but fear itself.”
