Giuliani gave to Planned Parenthood

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani in his campaign appearances this year has stated that he personally abhors abortion, even though he supports keeping a legal right to choose. But records show that in the '90s he contributed money at least six times to Planned Parenthood, one of the country's leading abortion rights groups and its top provider of abortions.

Federal tax returns made public by the former New York mayor show that he and his then-wife, Donna Hanover, made personal donations to national, state and city chapters of Planned Parenthood totaling $900 in 1993, 1994, 1998 and 1999.

The returns have been on the public record for years, but the detail about Giuliani's support for Planned Parenthood -- along with e-mailed copies of the returns -- was provided to The Politico by aides to a rival campaign, who insisted on not being identified.

Giuliani's old contributions could echo throughout the 2008 GOP nomination battle, as he seeks to lessen the political impact of his support for abortion rights -- an unpopular position among the social conservatives who in recent elections have weighed decisively in the primaries and caucuses. The issue was raised anew at last week's debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, when Giuliani gave a noncommittal answer to the question of whether it would be a good day for the country if Roe v. Wade were overturned.

1. He's decidedly out of step with the fundie wing of the party -

those most likely to vote in the primaries. I think between his squishy stance on abortion and his messy personal life, Rudy is going nowhere.

2. Good riddance. Stick a fork in him he is done!

3. Good for him.

Rudy's half-tolerable. I wouldn't mind seeing him win the (R) nomination.

5. should be interesting

I wouldn't mind seeing Giuliani get the Republican nomination as well, if he did win the election who knows maybe it would end up being a good balance between parties to get this country back on it;s feet.
