I didn’t get that out of it at all. I never heard the word “adoption” or the phrase “raising the child.”
What bothers me is that he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “pro-life.” Other people make this mistake too. They tell you they are “pro-life” and you are ready to hug them and then they say “but I think every woman has to make that choice for herself.”
Margaret Hoover’s book is full of that kind of gibberish. The rejoicing that occurred a couple of years ago when some poll recorded 51% saying they were “pro-life” is another example. Later polls showed a quite different number by asking a more specific question.
We are dumbing down the term “pro-life.” It means our laws should be pro-life, not just our own little opinion.
Read the transcript again and pay close attention to Cain saying this is a rare event. He knows abortion is not rare but the choice to keep a baby conceived in rape is.
