Maybe I'll have to watch it again, but why on earth would that even be an issue? No one was asking him if he thinks adoption should be a government decision. It goes without saying that adoption or keeping the baby is up to the family. I didn't think there was ever any question about that.

The question was should the woman be FORCED to keep the baby and it was inferred "or should they have a right to abort"

he knew the score but I think he was just worried about having something come back and bite him.

There is a transcript posted in response #12, it shows the exact wording and sequence of the questions and answers. Before saying it was not the government's role to determine whether the women should raise the child, Cain suggested that Morgan was mixing two things. Perhaps he could have been more explicit about what those two things were, but from the context of the questions and answers, I though that it was clear.

Again, I am not denying that Cain sometimes is rather vague in expressing his comments, but I do think that the context of this particular comment made it clear. I do think that he may have been trying to come down on both sides of the issue with the electrified fence comment, but not this time.
