Click on the link to the original article to see it, its the pledge as signed by Bachman.
Link is broken. If Cain won’t sign it there must be something wrong with some specifics in it. I generally don’t like the concept of “pledges” anyway and trying to make a candidate agree with someone else’s specific language on an issue. Let each candidate state their full views and respond to specific questions so we know where they are coming from and let the voters decide. It doesn’t matter to me if Mitt signs this “pledge” or not — I ain’t supporting him.
Another article states why Cain doesn’t support it and I see why now - the wording is pretty sloppy. Go Herman! he uses this pledge as a way to instruct the public how legislation works.
“He said he agrees with the first three parts of the pledge because he “adamantly” supports the appointing pro-life judges and selecting pro-life appointees to his Cabinet and the Executive Branch as well ending taxpayer funding for abortions, but he had a problem with the last part of the pledge.
“The fourth requirement demands that I ‘advance’ the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. As president, I would sign it, but Congress must advance the legislation,” he said.
