You have to listen very carefully, because honestly I was fooled the first two times too, but what Cain is actually referring to is whether the government should force a woman to raise a child from rape or incest. He had already stated he was pro life with no exceptions.
But I don’t know anyone who says that the government should force a woman to raise a child that she wasn’t allowed to abort.
The issue was forced parenting not abortion
This is an issue forced on us by the RINO’s at HotAir.com... Heck they don’t mind Pro Choice Romney, but they have a problem with this.
Cain is Pro Life and doesn’t believe the government should force the abortion decision on young women, nor does he believe the Federal government should pay for it.
“You have to listen very carefully, because honestly I was fooled the first two times too, but what Cain is actually referring to is whether the government should force a woman to raise a child from rape or incest. “
That makes zero sense because the government doesn’t force one to adopt or not.
It was Morgan who suggested that what Cain would decide for his own family is what he would force everybody else to do as well.
This is how interviewers inject their own suggestion into the dialog and get comments that can be taken out of context.
Cain HAD to say what he did, or Morgan would have said Cain tacitly agrees with elected officials forcing others to make the same choices they make. Cain’s point was that a woman who was raped is not forced to raise the child as her own, and it’s not the government’s job to decide that for her. But he was clear that killing the child should not be an option.
IOW, being pro-life isn’t about forcing parenthood on the mother, as the pro-aborts continuously want to make it seem; it’s about not forcing the child to be dead. There is an option for both a living child and a woman who doesn’t have to raise the child once it is born. In the extremely rare instance that a child is conceived as a result of rape, the woman can let the child be raised by someone else.
And I would add that whoever is allowed to adopt that infant would most probably be thanking God for answered prayers, since there are long waiting lines to adopt even severely handicapped infants.
