We don't have to, just ignore the static and look at what he actually said and his entire history of statements and actions. There is no gymnastics needed. He has always been an outspoken and praised pro-life champion. This was never questioned at all until he took the lead and threatened other candidates.. The only gymnastics going on is twisting that lifetime record to make him look pro-abortion.
Examples:
African American Businessman Spends 1M to Urge Blacks to Vote Pro-Life (Herman Cain 2006)
Herman Cain: Defund Racist Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz
Herman Cain...statement after the Senate voted to ban Partial-Birth Abortion:
Herman Cain blasts Roe v. Wade (from 2004)
The only other person I've ever seen make such strong statements about abortion is Alan Keyes- but Cain doesn't play the Keyes antics games..
“This was never questioned at all until he took the lead and threatened other candidates..”
No it was questioned after the interview last night on Piers. I never heard it mentioned at all before.
