Buffalo businessman and Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino was quizzed on CNN this afternoon by host Rick Sanchez on the Park51 project, gay marriage and abortion.

It was his first national interview since winning the Republican primary against former Rep. Rick Lazio.

Paladino said he opposes gay marriage, but is in favor of civil unions.

"It's fine, I think if the definition of unions is what we have right now I'm fine with that, I have no anxiety" he said.

Sanchez asked him about his position on abortion, which Paladino said he opposes in all cases.

Sanchez: What is your position on abortion?

Paladino: No.

Sanchez: Should a woman have a right to an abortion if she's been raped?

Paladino: No.

Sanchez: She should not? She should have to have the baby?

Paladino: The baby can be adopted.

Sanchez: What if it's a case of incest?

Paladino: The baby can be adopted, yes.

Sanchez spent the majority of the interview, which ran in two segments, on Paladino's stance on the Muslim community center being built near the site of the World Trade Center. Paladino opposes the project and said he would seek to turn the area into a war memorial. Sanchez grilled him on his opposition, which Paladino appeared to bristle at.

"You believe in the political correctness of those views, I don't," he said.
