It's comments like these, as much as anything else, that explain Giuliani's surprising acceptability to folks like Robertson.  This is why I doubt the religious right will totally defect from the Republicans if Giuliani is nominated.  He may be personally pro-choice, the argument will go, but he is clearly better on the abortion front than any Democrat could possibly be, because he will nominate more Scalias and Thomases to the Court.
