Sorry, they were discussing child murder, not adoption. The question was over abortion in the case of rape and incest and his response was very clearand it wasnt about adoption. He said nothing about adoption.
" Yesterday in an interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, I was asked questions about abortion policy and the role of the President.No question there but that he knew he was talking about ABORTION, not adoption.
I understood the thrust of the question to ask whether that I, as president, would simply order people to not seek an abortion. My answer was focused on the role of the President. The President has no constitutional authority to order any such action by anyone. That was the point I was trying to convey. As to my political policy view on abortion, I am 100% pro-life. End of story. I will appoint judges who understand the original intent of the Constitution. Judges who are committed to the rule of law know that the Constitution contains no right to take the life of unborn children. I will oppose government funding of abortion. I will veto any legislation that contains funds for Planned Parenthood. I will do everything that a President can do, consistent with his constitutional role, to advance the culture of life.
"CAIN: No, it comes down to 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.And then there's the problem of intellectual inconsistency of telling the family that it's there choice to something that he wants to make illegal, but as he has now said, "That's their choice."
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 have to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive issue."
