"No, it comes down to is, 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 try to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive decision.
No, they don’t. I can have an opinion on an issue without it being a directive on the nation. The government shouldn’t be trying to tell people everything to do, especially when it comes to a social decision that they need to make.
Sounds like Cain is covering all sides of the abortion issue and is coming out smelling bad. His position is similar to many liberal Democrats who say --- I personally oppose abortion, but I have no right to tell a woman she can't have an abortion.
Out of context. The choice Cain is referring to is about the family RAISING a child born of rape or incest, not ABORTING it. Read the complete transcript carefully, see post 31. Cain is consistently pro life.
“His position is similar to many liberal Democrats who say -— I personally oppose abortion, but I have no right to tell a woman she can’t have an abortion.”
No, it’s not, but if you keep posting his answer to a question that isn’t about abortion, maybe you can fool some people into thinking it is, eh?
They’d have to be pretty slow to miss the fact that what he is talking about is statistically rare, meaning it can’t be abortion, but maybe you will find a few suckers.
