Rudy Giuliani was never a man of principle on any issue but, on the issue of the right to choose, he is laughably contortionist, depending upon what office he is running for. Much is being discussed about his recent flip flop, (previously he criticized Pope John Paul II on the issue) but little is discussed about his initial flip flop in 1989 when he first sought the Mayoralty of NYC:

[A]ccording to a February 22, 1989, Newsday article, leaders of New York's Conservative Party said Giuliani -- then a candidate for mayor of New York City -- "assured them he was personally opposed to abortion, did not favor government funding or criminal penalties, did favor an exemption in cases of rape or incest, and was in favor of overturning the U.S. Supreme Court's decision legalizing abortion, Roe v. Wade." But following the U.S. Supreme Court's July 1989 decision in Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, Giuliani reportedly shifted his position to one favoring abortion rights.

So when he now flips again because he is running for a different political office, the Presidency this time, it is simply what one would expect from such an unprincipled man. One flop on choice we can call political expediency or "personal growth" - but another motivated by political ambition? What can one say about such a person? Simply this, he'll say anything to get elected.
