I thought that was resolved. Wasn’t there a thread from a day or so ago that quoted Cain as saying he believed abortion should be outlawed on the federal level? It got sidetracked by some troll who tried to argue there aren’t any federal laws against abortion, so such a proposal could never work blah blah.

Anyway, it seems clear to me Cain is anti abortion, no question. The confusion seemed to stem from an interview he gave where it appeared he said it’s a “personal choice”. Later examination of the context of the quote showed he was saying it should be a personal choice whether or not a woman who was the victim of a rape should be forced to keep the baby ( as opposed to being able to put it up for adoption ).

I’m pretty sure these are the facts of the case.

Those are the PARTIAL facts of the case. The truth is Cain tells one group one thing and another group another. http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/do-we-really-know-who-herman-cain-is/

Again, Monday, Cain stepped in it on Fox & Friends. http://freedomslighthouse.net/2011/10/24/herman-cain-asked-should-abortion-be-part-of-the-political-discussion-answer-no-it-should-not-video-102411/

Also be sure to see Cain’s conflicting answer to his position on Second Amendment rights. I have no idea where this guy stands on anything and he has no record.
