None of the Republican hopefuls need a teleprompter. It’s amazing.
Has he explained yet why he won’t sign the pro-life pledge?
“His why, as he has explained, is because he believes it should be a States issue not a Federal issue.”
In the past I have argued that very position. It’s nice when a national figure agrees with me.
“Is the idea to p.o. libs or to get primary votes?”
He can’t do both? I would think that one would lead to the other.
Herman Cain Reaffirms Commitment to Pro-Life Principles
(Stockbridge, GA)- Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain reaffirmed his commitment to his longstanding pro-life principles saying:
“I support right-to-life issues unequivocally and I adamantly support the first three aspects of the Susan B. Anthony pledge involving appointing pro-life judges, choosing pro-life cabinet members, and ending taxpayer-funded abortions.
However, the fourth requirement demands that I ‘advance’ the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. As president, I would sign it, but Congress must advance the legislation.
I have been a consistent and unwavering champion of pro life issues.
In no way does this singular instance of clarification denote an abandonment of the pro-life movement, but instead, is a testament to my respect for the balance of power and the role of the presidency.”

I agree. Bring it back one step at a time, just like the way the libs have destroyed this country, incrementally, one step at a time.
I didn’t say he needed to sign it, I only want to hear his stance on the subject, including why he refused to sign. Your reason he shouldn’t sign is completely reasonable, I just want to know what his reason is, that’s all.
