Guiliani and Abortion

UPDATE:

Thanks to Jacob for finding the newer U-Tube clip. For some reason I was not able to find it the other day. Now compare both clips and see if there is any real difference.



I heard clips on the Limbaugh show of Rudy Guiliani saying that he is for the government paying for abortions. The logic is simple. He stated that since it is a Constitutional Right to have an abortion, and because some women can not afford an abortion, therefore a woman should not be denied her right to choose an abortion simply due to funds.

Although there are many fundamental and mental flaws in this thinking, I would just like to add this thought. If the above is correct and if Giuliani is going to be consistent, then the Government ought to give me money in order for me to own property. You see the 14th Amendment specifically states:
"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property"
Since it is a right to own property and since many do not have the funds to buy it, therefore Guiliani ought to be for making sure every American owns property. I am sure Guiliani will not be consistent here. Therefore his inconsistency is a sign of a failed argument and a mere political ploy.

Here is a past clip I found on U-Tube demonstrating Guiliani is no conservative, and he clearly has no ability to think consistently.

That clip is a little old, but let the be no mistaken. Giulianni has responded to that exact clip in the affirmative. This time, though, he has couched it in nice political terms. Basically, he says "abortion is wrong, but the government should fund it anyway."

See this clip of his response for details.

Note: I do NOT endorse youtube!

Peace. --Jacob

I should probably have posted the newer link as well in order to show the consistency of his wrong-headed position.

Thanks Jacob
