If you read the post and Medved again, you will see that pro-choice doesn't mean pro-abortion. I happen to believe that there is some merit in this contention.<BR/><BR/>And the simple point I was making is that Rudy is better than any Democrat. To distort that fact, to not admit to the distinctions between the "pro-choice" Hillary Clinton and the "pro-choice" Rudy Giuliani is to obfuscate the truth. <BR/><BR/>Social conservatives who choose to ignore this and not support Rudy should he be nominated are simply being stupid. The time to make their case and make their vote count is in the primary. After that, there is no debate.Mike D'Virgiliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150525537509460056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-80478722324443280852007-10-24T19:18:00.000-04:002007-10-24T19:18:00.000-04:00What more could he do? He has made strides lately ...What more could he do? He has made strides lately but he could say that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. <BR/><BR/>And while there is a distinction perhaps between being pro-choice and being pro-abortion, pro-choice means that one thinks abortion should be legal, i.e. that the choice should remain avaiable. <BR/><BR/>I grant that someone who is pro-choice but doesn't care for abortion is better than someone who cheers them on at the local clinic, but to say that Rudy is not pro-choice is rewriting the political dictionary. <BR/><BR/>And the polling data on Americans and abortion isn't quite what Medved claims. Most Americans favor increased restrictions on abortions and do not favor an unrestricted license for any and all reasons and up until the day before birth (the result of Doe v. Bolton).John H.
