On Abortion: 2000: ran against Hillary as a pro-choice candidate

While Hillary’s pro-choice stance was a big part of her Senate Platform, it was by no means unique to her. Her opponent was the Republican mayor of NYC, Rudy Giuliani, who despite his party affiliation and his Catholicism, was also pro-choice. At times, Giuliani squared off with Mrs. Clinton over who was a greater champion of abortion rights. In January 2000, the NY Times tried to keep score in a feature on Mrs. Clinton and abortion. The piece stated, “Signaling that she will not yield on the issue of abortion rights in her race for the US Senate, Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday presented herself as a stronger advocate on the issue than Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Mrs. Clinton said she would make protecting abortion rights a central concern if she is elected.”

In May 2000, shortly before the primary, the political situation for Republicans hit a snag when a diagnosis of prostate cancer forced Giuliani out of the race
