Rick Perry already walked back...
...to 6th place in Iowa.
You have to listen very carefully, because honestly I was fooled the first two times too, but what Cain is actually referring to is whether the government should force a woman to raise a child from rape or incest. He had already stated he was pro life with no exceptions.
But I don’t know anyone who says that the government should force a woman to raise a child that she wasn’t allowed to abort.
The issue was forced parenting not abortion
Funny, I never heard the word “adoption” mentioned, so I didn’t come to that conclusion.
I think the point was more “my own opinion should not be the basis for governmental action, the people’s opinion should.”
People, people, people! PLEASE don’t let some commentary deceive you. Herman Cain has never said that murdering an unborn child should be anybody’s legal choice. All these comments were in the context of Cain being asked directly whether he would want his raped daughter to raise the baby as her own, and Morgan’s suggestion that whatever he would want his daughter to do is what he would FORCE everybody else to do. IOW, these comments were in reference to the KEEP THE BABY v GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION issue.
People who don’t like Cain want to take his comments out of context. The choice Cain doesn’t want government to legislate is who will RAISE the baby once it is born.
“There are a lot of people who are against abortion who would make an exception for rape or incest.”
I admit to being one of those.
This is an issue forced on us by the RINO’s at HotAir.com... Heck they don’t mind Pro Choice Romney, but they have a problem with this.
Cain is Pro Life and doesn’t believe the government should force the abortion decision on young women, nor does he believe the Federal government should pay for it.
“You have to listen very carefully, because honestly I was fooled the first two times too, but what Cain is actually referring to is whether the government should force a woman to raise a child from rape or incest. “
That makes zero sense because the government doesn’t force one to adopt or not.
Did you hear “Raise the child as her own”?

I personally enjoy a good argument
Their motto:
“We besmirch and malign because that’s how we’re defined.”
Cain exemplifies an important distinction. An individual or a governmental body can believe something is bad, but that doesn’t mean a law needs to be made forbidding it.

He was talking about raising the child vs adoption. This is quite clear if you are at all interested in context or truth.
Typical of so many Leftwingtards (e.g. even Biden) he just doesn't know how to leave it alone.
Cain would be well advised to get a prohibitory order against Piers as soon as possible.
Piers badgered him into the phrase he wanted him to say. It in the end had nothing to do with abortion.

It's only fair.
THAT'S IT: No confusion. you can't "bring up" a baby you've killed. The real question is: Why is Tina Korbe and HotAit lying about what Cain said and patronizing him for being "unclear"? Are they carrying water for Mittens like RedState has?
