I don't think Rep. Pete Sessions is helping his preferred candidate by making this assertion:

"In a hypothetical comparison of congressional votes, Mayor Giuliani's voting record would mirror the voting record of Fred Thompson, including votes on partial birth abortion, taxpayer funding on abortions, and parental notification laws. Mayor Giuliani respects the values of social conservatism, and his position on these issues would categorize him as a predominately pro-life Member of Congress."
There are many arguments that can be made in Giuliani's favor as a candidate, but I agree that if he's "predominately pro-life," then words have no meaning.

Abortion, Law, Conservatism
