It is becoming a pattern.
Bearing False Witness is still a sin.
What is being reported here , and what was actually said by Cain, are two completely different things.
"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."
I don't know how he could make it any clearer then this.
People around here who are emotionally tied to other candidates in the campaign need to keep in mind the 9th Commandment is not a suggestion.
It was two questions. They took the second question out and strung his answers together to make him sound less pro-life. I’m sure it is not the last fabrication we will see.
” I believe in my gut Cain is pro-life. This was not a tricky question. Cain made it a tricky question. “ <<<
That is exactly how I feel. I believe he is far better on the issue than Perry, actually, but why does he dazzle me with perfect philosophy, then turns around and confuses me utterly on his sincerity to do a dang thing about it to “advance” his perfect philosophy. He better convince me first and fast. Rick Perry has, IMHO, a very dense and political useful philosophy but NO ONE doubts he would blaze both guns against abortion. THAT is where a RECORD of doing exactly that counts so much. Perry lets the chips fall where they may, but his word is his bond.
Cain is saying that as long as the Supremes say that Roe v. Wade lives, he’ll honor that. It’s a common political position, throwing everything upon the judges. Whether it’s righteous or wise may be another question.
