Herman Cain clarifies, sort of: “I am 100% pro-life. End of story.”

Cain is 100 percent pro-life. People are trying to suggest otherwise, but it’s not so. I’ve heard him state his position. No abortions, ever, under any circumstances.

You need to read it again. He was asked whether a mother should have to raise a baby that came from rape. That was when Cain THAT was a family decision. Comprehension around here has been waning of late.

Cain thinks that it is okay for some of them to die, I don't

You are a filthy LIAR and your statement is libelous. You obviously are a secularist who believes it is allowable to lie if it advances your cause. We do not like filthy liars on FreeRepublic. Why don't you just buzz off and find some scum you would be more compatible with.

Cain talks out of both sides of his mouth on abortion.

I choose to believe the side of his mouth that corresponds with his promise to sign immoral, unconstitutional “fetal pain” legislation, which doesn’t equally protect the God-given, unalienable right to life of all, and his support for pro-child-killing politicians like Mitt Romney and Scott Brown.

Your post is quite obviously inaccurate, since Cain promised to sign immoral, unconstitutional "fetal pain" legislation should he become president. These lawless "laws" define the child as a person, and then allow certain disfavored classes of them to be killed by the abortionists.

In spite of the fact that the sacred oath of office is a promise to God and man to support this imperative obligation:

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

That’s one of the stupidest posts I’ve ever seen on FR. And that takes some doing.

That’s Cain’s stated position. I heard him say so. Now, whether he follows through is another matter.

I simply think we ought to be fair and accurate in our criticism of candidates.

I remember John Kerry saying “life begins at conception” in 2004. So, whoopedy-do.

Not really, you have a history of them. If liars and bigots are to take over FR, it will not happen with me going along quietly.

Oh please, you're way out of your league. Your a dishonest bigot. We are trying to get a conservative elected to the Presidency, we don't have time to play games with juveniles. Keyes isn't running so you don't have a dog in this race. Why don't you just slink off and leave these issues to the adults.

Why don’t you back up your big libelous words with a speck of evidence of bigotry on my part?

Also, share evidence of dishonesty on my part.

You made the accusation. Back it up.

And again, the Fred Phelps nonsense is out and out libel.

Cain is not a polished politician. That is a strength and a weakness for him. A huge part of his popularity is that he is truly an outsider. He is not a career politician. On the other hand, he has little experience at fielding these types of questions and can be tripped up fairly easily. I would vote for him in a heartbeat over Obama, but you Cain people have to take your blinders off, if you don’t think he flubbed this answer. Yes, he says he is “pro-life”. He uses that as a label, but when he explains his position, it sounds like the typical democrat pro-choice position (”I’m personally opposed to abortion, but I would never force my beliefs on someone else”). Maybe he truly is pro-life, but he’s done a poor job of explaining it. And for you supporters to say he was answering a question about adoption not abortion, go read his statement from today regarding the exchange. It says NOTHING about adoption. He clearly says it was about a President ordering someone not to have an abortion. The fact that he disagrees with you (his most ardent supporters) on what he was actually stating is more evidence that he has not been clear on the issue. Don’t stick your fingers on your ears and sing “LA LA LA”. Admit he has a problem and that he needs to fix it.

That's exactly what happened. Cain followed the new question asked and it was treated as a gotcha moment. A professional politician usually knows that's a media trap or a gotcha moment and instinctively avoids it.

Cain's a regular person. He thought they were having a regular conversation so he pivoted to answer the new question which he clearly recognized because he pointed out that Morgan was mixing topics.

I don't question Cain's commitment to pro-life issues and HotAir, purportedly "right-leaning" media, should be sensible enough to look at the transcript and follow the threads of conversation. Of course, that would be fair-minded and honest. It wouldn't get any site hits either and they exist to pull in ad traffic.

Most of the supposed flip-flops from Cain are down to his inexperience at speaking like a politician instead of a normal person. It's a problem because the "game" is rigged against non-politicians.

What are you on about? The "fetal pain" legislation is part of the Susan B Anthony pro-life pledge as a step in the right direction like the partial-birth abortion ban.

Cain said he'd sign such a bill although he didn't sign the pledge because he disagreed with the wording on that clause feeling it broke the separation of powers boundaries. Other than Huntsman, I think the other 'major' candidates signed it.

From your outrage, none of the candidates suit you on this issue.

“I’ve decided that you perrywinkles are absolutely crazy...”

I was just about to formulate a well thought-out, articulate argument on this issue with a perry supporter, then I read your post.

And you’re right. These people are disingenuous. They are nuts. They’re making stuff up, then beating the drum relentlessly on thread after thread. They don’t really stand for conservative causes. They stand for Perry - that’s it.

On another thread, I was going to say something nice about Perry, but I stopped myself. NONE of his people on FR will give Cain an inch on anything. Why should I waste my time saying anything nice about their candidate?

They’re driving people AWAY from their guy in droves. I say let ‘em keep at it.
