Dobson Won’t Back Giuliani

We all knew it was coming. The Relgious Right’s attack on Rudy. I’m not a fan of Rudy’s, but I think Rudy is about 20 years too early to run as a pro-choice Republican. Eventually, the right, will have to reconcile itself to the fact that morality, their brand of morality cannot be legislated. Abortion is a deeply personal decision that must be between her, her god and her family and government has no place in that decision. Looks like it’s McCain.

James Dobson, the prominent Christian conservative who leads Focus on the Family, said yesterday that he could not vote for former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.

Writing in an online column, Dobson said “my conscience and my moral convictions” convinced him that he cannot support Giuliani, whom he described as an “unapologetic” supporter of abortion rights.

“Many liberal Americans will agree with the social positions espoused by Giuliani. However, I don’t believe conservative voters whose support he seeks will be impressed,” Dobson wrote on the conservative news site WorldNetDaily. “I will either cast my ballot for an also-ran — or if worse comes to worst — not vote in a presidential election for the first time in my adult life.”
