This shows you have no idea what has happened. Cain has flip flopped on the issue of abortion multiple times. http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/do-we-really-know-who-herman-cain-is/
There have been instances since these. http://race42012.com/2011/10/26/cain-botches-abortion-answer-yet-again-pro-life-with-no-exceptions-but-a-family-will-make-that-choice/
The Answer:
No, [what] it comes down to is, 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. 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 try to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive decision.
The Question:
Would you make your wife or daughter raise that child (the product of a rape)?
The interview was intentionally edited to make this sound like his answer to the abortion question.
