Just read what he said and what he was responding to:

"I believe that life begins at conception. And abortion under no circumstances," Cain said. Morgan asked Cain if that meant he felt the procedure was impermissible in cases of rape and incest, which many anti-abortion activists and conservatives carve out exceptions for. Cain reiterated that there were "no circumstances" under which he supported abortion. "If one of your female children, grandchildren was raped, you would honestly want her to bring up that baby as her own?" Morgan asked. Cain said that Morgan was "mixing" questions, but then replied: "No, it comes down to it's not the government's role or anybody else's role to make that decision. Secondly, if you look at the statistical incidents, you're not talking about that big a number. So what I'm saying is it ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make. Not me as president, not some politician, not a bureaucrat. It gets down to that family. And whatever they decide, they decide. I shouldn't have to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive issue."

Morgan had asked a new question regarding 'bring her up as your own'- Cain was responding to raising the child (versus giving up for adoption). People are incorrectly responding to that as if he was saying if abortion should be legal.

People are not "incorrectly responding", they know exactly what Cain said and meant but are dishonestly trying to distort his statements, all in an effort to help the candidate of their choice or, in Santorum's case, to help himself.

People are sick and tired of the dishonest crap the Democrats have pulled the past few years and I believe they will also reject the dishonesty of Republicans. When pathetic garbage like Morgan becomes the ally of supporters of Republican candidates, one has to wonder how different these people really are from liberals.
