‘Giuliani Forced To Clarify His Stance on Abortion’
As one who attended both Bishop Loughlin High School in Brooklyn and Manhattan College in the Bronx with Mayor Giuliani in the class preceding his and as a leader in the Nassau Conservative Party, I’m sorry to say I can’t support Mr. Giuliani’s presidential ambitions.
When he offers as his explanation, as he did in “Giuliani Forced to Clarify His Stance on Abortion,” that he believes “life is enormously important and so is personal liberty,” he is erroneously assuming that the two are never in conflict [National, “Giuliani Forced to Clarify His Stance on Abortion,” May 9, 2007].
Clearly, one’s “personal liberty” does not entitle one to take another’s life. Either he believes the unborn child is human and has life or he does not. Either the unborn child is human and alive and has the Constitutional right to life or it is “something else.”
