Liberal GOP Frontrunner Rudy Giuliani.: "I've said that I'll uphold a woman's right of choice, that I will fund abortion so that a poor woman is not deprived of a right that others can exercise, and that I would oppose going back to a day in which abortions were illegal."
"I'm pro-choice. I'm pro-gay rights," Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing," he responded." -- CNN.com, "Inside Politics" Dec 2, 1999

It is indeed a question. Giuliani said he would fund abortions. I provide the link to the quote. As a taxpayer, I want to know how much of my money he intends to earmark for this policy that he advocates.

None, there will be no President Giuliani.

That's a decision for Congress to make. Congress spends the money. I'm not sure why Giuliani said that. I don't think Giuliani has ever wanted to take away a woman's right to have an abortion. He is sort of liberal, but he is not as liberal as Hillary Clinton. He doesn't want to create a giant welfare state. He doesn't want to make Americans completely dependent on the federal government for everything. He does support free trade and economic growth. He isn't interested in constantly raising taxes.

He wouldn't. I hate to break the news to you but your government does not support health care....so the answer is if he did become president (which I don't think he will) would be nothing.
If you are going to grow up to be a political activist you will find that slagging people on the other side with stupid accusations will backfire. Look back to November for the truth of that statement. There are plenty of real issues that you could have chosen to pick on Giuliani for, slagging him for this is really immature.
Do you think that if the US outlawed abortions that they would stop? It is a false premiss. It is a hot button issue the right tries to use to coral the ignorant to vote for them and the US has important issues that the government could be doing to help the country rather than taking the rights of the individual away so the superstitious can have their way.

None. The likelihood of Rude Rudy being elected are zero.
Rudy is hoping the public will remain lost in a haze of pre9/11 forgetfulness, but his opponents in the primaries will crucify him with his actual record. On 8/11 he was just the soon to be former mayor of NYC, the man who brought his mistress into Gracie Mansion and boffed her in his wife's bed, where his daughters could hear.
If bin Ladn had not done what he did Rudy would be gone and forgotten, but post 9/11 patriotism required blind support for all concerned. Come the primaries his fellow republicans will crucify him for it, a la Clinton. He will never even face a democrat.
Should he slip by the primaries into the big show it will be a case of two timing jerk versus publicly wronged woman. How could Hillary lose?
Therefore, "President" Rudy will not spend a penny on anything.

Dude, this is not a question. The Federal budget doesn't pay for abortions. This is a thinly disguised rant. Find a question and ask it.
Added comment: I couldn't find any outside source of that quote you posted. The link you provided did not work. But assuming that is something he said, I would say the answer to your question is "zero." I seriously doubt that sort of position will be something to which he sticks come crunch time in the primaries. And I seriously doubt something like that would ever get put into action by a GOP president.

None. The President cannot spend money. Only Congress can.

Abortion is the best thing going. Too many people already. Long live Abortion...But you have to kill them before they're born, after that it's called murder.

I don't think any. I believe that since he is now in a serious run for the presidency that if elected he would leave it up to each state to decide these things.

A republican will never win. Bush has ruined it for all.
