Supports constitutional right to abortion but says he would appoint Supreme Court nominees who back abortion restrictions
"Rudy Giuliani supports reasonable restrictions on abortions such as parental notification with a judicial bypass and a ban on partial birth abortion - except when the life of the [filtered word] is at stake," his web site stated.
Opposes gay marriage, but also opposes amending the Constiution to ban the practice.
"I thought the best answer was domestic partnerships as a way of dealing with that, so that you're recognizing the rights of people who are gay and [filtered word] and protect them," he said on Fox News' Hannity & Colmes. "But marriage should be between a man and a woman."
He supported a domestic partner bill while mayor of New York, but in 2007 came out in opposition of New Hampshire's new civil union law.
"Mayor Giuliani believes marriage is between one man and one woman. Domestic partnerships are the appropriate way to ensure that people are treated fairly," the Giuliani campaign said in a written response to a question from the New York Sun. "In this specific case (New Hampshire) the law states same sex civil unions are the equivalent of marriage and recognizes same sex unions from outside states. This goes too far and Mayor Giuliani does not support it."
Opposes setting timetable for troop withdrawal. Supported Bush plan to send additional troops.
"So we need a fence. We need a technological fence; we need a tamper-proof ID card," he said during a presidential debate
