So, what is his position on abortion? 2nd Amendment? Federalism?

He is extremely pro life to the point of calling it a genocide.

Herman Cain is pro-life. He has repeatedly stated that life begins at conception, and that if he was elected President, he would sign legislation to protect the sanctity of life. He supports the defunding of Planned Parenthood, and has noted that the organization was started by someone with the stated goal of lowering the number of African-American children.

He did say he supports the 2nd amendment

“The answer is I support, strongly support, the 2nd amendment. I don’t support onerous legislation that’s going to restrict people’s rights in order to be able to protect themselves as guaranteed by the 2nd amendment.

Blitzer: Should states or local government be allowed to control guns, the gun situation, or should…

Cain: Yes”

Not a great answer.

On abortion, from the Republican2012.org site:

Herman Cain takes a strong stand, and sometimes controversial stand on abortion issues, in his 2004 Georgia senate run he said abortion should be illegal even in cases of rape and incest.

On the 2nd Amenement, I have found this...and he should put both abortion and 2nd amendment statements on his web site which I am emailing him and encouraging him to do.

On April 28, 2011 in Rochester New Hamshire, Herman Cain spoke at a campaign event and discussed his views on the second amendment. When asked, he states that concealed carry laws should be dealt with at the state level.

On May 1, 2011 Herman Cain spoke at the NRA American Values Leadership Conference. He stated during the speech that the second amendment was one of the things that the founding fathers got right and that it should not be infringed upon in any way.

Apparently spome people are using a Wolf Blitzer interview where he indicated that 2nd amendment laws of any kind could only be passed at the state level to imply he is weak on the 2nd amendment. He clarified that to mean conceal carry, etc.

But he needs a strongly worded, delcarative statement on his site.

Here's a pretty good list of videos and statements from Cain:
