He said that he is personally against all types of abortion, but that the government does not have the authority to impose his opinion on everyone else.
If only some government workers would try that with smoking, drinking, environmental issues, zoning, building licenses, taxation, free speech against homosexual marriage, and the list goes on and on.
His comment about government not telling people what they have to do was not about abortion. It was about whether a raped woman should KEEP the child, or GIVE IT UP FOR ADOPTION. He was asked directly whether he would want his raped daughter to keep the child. His answer was that it would be up to the family to decide that. Morgan said it was important to know what he thinks about this stuff because he would legislate it into policy and Cain said government shouldn’t be deciding those kinds of things for families, so what he would choose (for his own family, according to context) is not what he would force everybody else to choose.
Context is absolutely critical. He was not saying that government shouldn’t tell people whether or not to choose abortion. He was saying government shouldn’t tell people whether to choose ADOPTION.
Is he personally against murder, robbery, and drunk driving but not wishing to impose these preferences on anyone else? There goes Herman for me.
ABORTION FOR ANY REASON IS MURDER. The states have the right, and the responsibility, to make it a criminal event, like they USED to do!
Taking a life is murder and the Establishment introduced the first step to where we are today! Without God there can be NO AMERICA. And God said we are not to kill!
I wish Herman Cain had stuck to his guns on this one if he didn’t. Again, here is the video:

I recall John F'n Kerry trying to dance on the very same pinhead in 2004.

Supreme court has already ruled on that. You DO have a constitutional right to have an abortion, anytime, anywhere. You DO NOT have a constitutional right to do any of those other things. Period.
