Herman Cain Is Totally Pro-Life, Pro-Whatever Else Republican Voters Want
LatestLast week in an interview on Piers Morgan Tonight, Herman Cain, Republican presidential candidate/possible long-gestating Punk’d prank gone awry, made some confusing statements about his stance on abortion, saying it shouldn’t be legal under any circumstances and is also a woman’s choice when she’s been raped or her life is at risk. Some conservatives were angered by his suggestion that sometimes ladies should get to make their own health decisions, so last night at a campaign event in Iowa, Cain reassured everyone that he’s extremely pro-life. In fact, he won’t let the government pay for abortions. And he wants to refund the Planned Parenthood! Bureaucrats shouldn’t even think about making choices from the bench! And a bunch of other things his staff told him to say!
At the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition in Des Moines, Cain tried to clear up the confusion once and for all, noting that our founders got it right when they said we have certain unalienable rights and “among these are life, from conception — no abortions, no exceptions.” (We didn’t realize Thomas Jefferson was so passionate on the abortion issue). Later he was asked what exactly he’ll do to prevent “abortion on demand.” From CNN:
