Money, Power, Politics, by Joyce Purnick: on Abortion


Mike Bloomberg: Supported by women's groups for strong defense of abortion

The signals are manifestly contradictory. Bloomberg never dated an employee or, it appears, tried to. Sexual banter, however awkward and even threatening, seems to have remained just that. After he became mayor, women's rights groups regularly supported him, rating him strong on defending abortion rights and in fighting domestic violence. Bloomberg has also set a pattern of giving some women significant responsibility in his company and in government.

Bloomberg obviously watched his words during the mayoral campaign, but he could slip.

The public has not seen the crudest side of Bloomberg and not only because of his self-discipline. In his 1st venture into politics, voters saw as little of him as possible.
