Herman Cain in New Interview: Abortion Should Not be Legal
Washington, DC -- Herman Cain has given a new interview in which he explains his pro-life views on abortion and gives some insight as to why he made some "pro-choice" sounding comments in a CNN interview this week.

You need to listen to the interview and not get your news second hand. Cain is NOT pro abortion.
I’m going to lobby for a “article to posting ratio requirement”.
“some” people post article after article and _never_ stick around to address comments on those articles.
Look, I am solidly in Cain’s camp but truth is he had a redo on this and he still screwed it up. He had his chance to say that the choice is adoption or rearing the rape child and not abortion. He clearly leaves the impression that families have the choice for abortion. Personally I am more concerned about the economy and my main focus remains on Cain to solve that.
This is what he has said all along. People (egged on by the media) have been twisting his statements to make him appear pro-abortion. He has been a lifelong strong pro-life champion.
Except he didn’t say that. Look at what he was responding to, Morgan changed the question to be about ‘raising’ the child, not aborting it. Cain even called Morgan out right then on changing the subject so it was apparent that Cain realized he was answering a question about raising, not about aborting.
Cain is pro choice and he chooses life over death like some other supposed “pro choice” types.
>>> He has been a lifelong strong pro-life champion. >>>
He has, and that’s beyond reproach. What is also true is that this issue is not the reason he is running for President. It just is not. And IMO, that’s fine too.
If he appoints justices along the lines of Clarence Thomas - which he has said he would do - then he will be doing all a President can do vis a vis abortion. The “Santorum” notion that our political leaders must emphasize these issues is just not what Cain believes. Nor do I.

Herman Cain: Planned Parenthood Should Be Called ‘Planned Genocide’
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/03/herman-cain-planned-parenthood-should-be-called-planned-genocide.php
Herman Cain was endorsed by the Georgia Right-To-Life PAC in the 2004 US Senate GOP primary. Cain’s primary challenger from 2004, Johnny Isakson, had a pro-choice streak in his voting record and it was the reason why GRTL endorsed him.
Life, liberty & pursuit of happiness starts with unborn life
The Founding Fathers got it right. The Founding Fathers got it right because of those fundamental principles: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They also got it in the right order. That wasn’t an accident. Their vision meant that you could pursue happiness in America as long as you don’t infringe upon the liberties of somebody else. And you can pursue all the liberties that you want as long as you don’t infringe upon the life of anybody else. And that starts with the life of the unborn.

Defund Planned Parenthood; intent was to kill black babies
I absolutely would defund Planned Parenthood—not because I don’t believe in planning parenthood, [but because] Planned Parenthood as an organization is an absolute farce on the American people.
People who know the history of Margaret Sanger, who started Planned Parenthood, they know that the intention was not to help young women who get pregnant to plan their parenthood. No—it was a sham to be able to kill black babies.

Life begins at conception, period
I believe that life begins at conception, period. And that means that I will have to see enough evidence that someone I would appoint shares that same view. I believe that the current Supreme Court is leaning too much to the liberal side.
I’m a Christian, I’ve been a Christian all my life. I’ve been a believer in the Bible since I was 10 years old. I’m very active in my church, and there is no way I would compromise my religious beliefs about the sanctity of life. And so it starts with, will they have demonstrated, in some of their other rulings, if they come from the federal judge bench, whether or not they also share that.
Because I believe that the principles that our Founding Fathers cherished, when they founded this country, and wrote the Declaration of Independence which inspired the Constitution, they were based upon biblical principles. I want to get back to those principles as president, if I run and get elected—not rewrite those documents.

Sick of people making a big deal out of little nuanced things. Bottom line is he will nominate conservative judges and they make these decisions
For a “talker”, Cain sure does a lot of “walking”.

That’s what I’d heard about Cain, and what impressed me. I’m so tired of hearing so-called “pro-life” folks saying, “Oh well, all he can do to protect the helpless babies is to nominate judges.”
That’s a buck-passing coward’s excuse for not standing tall.
>> I’ve had my fill of politicians who’re nothing more than “pro-life” talkers - and more than my fill of “pro-lifers” telling us what can’t be done. >>
And I guess I would say I’ve had my fill of faux conservatives deciding which parts of the Constitution they want their candidate to follow and which to discard. Constitutionally, the appointment of judges who are originalists - meaning they will no doubt vote to over turn Roe V Wade - IS all a President can do. But that’s a HUGE PLUS. It’s not insignificant. That’s not a fake pro life position.
Judgeships are perhaps the single most important thing a President does as far as lasting impact is concerned. To pooh pooh that is to not understand our system or our Constitution or our reality.

You have your apples and oranges mixed up. AS PRESIDENT, he will not be spending tax money to get African Americans to vote pro life. AS PRESIDENT all he can do is appoint the right judges. AS PRESIDENT AS PRESIDENT AS PRESIDENT — is different than as a private citizen.
Learn it live it love it.
A different story from Cain on every issue almost every day. Now the left would give him the heat and he has to change his opinion yet again on abortion. Wait for a new opinion on abortion in the next few days.
You, on the other hand probably aren't.
This is one of my make or break issues.
