Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani had to defend his positions on gun control and late-term abortions to GOP voters who are concerned the former mayor of New York City is not consistent in his stances.
In the past, Giuliani has been supportive of abortion rights, but backed the Supreme Court last week when they voted to uphold a ban on a procedure known as late-term abortion.
As for his stances on gun control, Giuliani was once an advocate for strong gun control laws, but now says he believes in an individual's right to bear arms with little government control, according to msnbc.com.
These views are more in line with what the popular Republican views are. As mayor, Giuliani was more moderate. What does this mean to voters?
According to msnbc.com, voters are skeptical about Giuliani's new image. Some believe his stance changes make him less trustworthy. They believe he could change his stances again in the future and be lees representative of the party and the views of the voters.
What does this mean for Giuliani's chances in the presidential race? While he could lose some Republican votes, he could gain moderate votes. We'll just have to wait and see.
