This is a case of context. Although the overall discussion was about abortion, this question is not. It is whether the mother should raise the child. Well, abortion is not the only available alternative. To interpret his answer as applying to abortion only is totally incorrect.
Herman has a long history of being pro-life. His answer to this question does not alter that.
But to interpret his answer as an answer to THAT interpretation of the question is absurd, because his answer didn’t match; he said “NO”. Why would he say “NO”, that he didn’t want his kid to raise the baby? Why would he say the government shouldn’t be involved, when the question was about what HE would want?
Not that it matters — Cain has explained how he interpreted the question, and what his answer was about, and it was about abortion, not adoption. Rather than believe their own candidate, some supporters have decided to attack other freepers who do.
