by user DNL Rudy Giuliani, when running for Mayor of New York, believed it important that society fund abortions for those who cannot afford them. In 1988, he said: "There must be public funding for abortions for poor women. We cannot deny any woman the right to make her own decisions about abortion." Now, a more conservative Giuliani -- once who recently flip-flopped on gun control, was challenged on his take. He stayed constant: "If [not funding the abortion] would deprive someone of a constitutional right," he explained to CNN, "If that's the status of the law, yes, [there must be funding]."

  • by user DNL Rudy Giuliani, when running for Mayor of New York, believed it important that society fund abortions for those who cannot afford them. In 1988, he said: "There must be public funding for abortions for poor women. We cannot deny any woman the right to make her own decisions about abortion." Now, a more conservative Giuliani -- once who recently flip-flopped on gun control, was challenged on his take. He stayed constant: "If [not funding the abortion] would deprive someone of a constitutional right," he explained to CNN, "If that's the status of the law, yes, [there must be funding]." I think this is ridiculous. Many things are constitutional rights -- e.g. the right to practice one's religion -- but no one is suggesting that poor communities receive funding to set up religious centers such as churches. We have the right to bear arms, but who thinks that a poor person should get discount rifles? The list goes one. The only constitutional right which turns into an entitlement is the right to counsel when faced with prosecution, and I don't think that abortion rises to that level. (And certainly, one isn't entitled to expert counsel -- just an attorney.) What do you think? __NOEDITSECTION__ From The Opinion Wiki, a Wikia wiki. From The Opinion Wiki, a Wikia wiki.
