You’re not watching the videos. These are Cain’s own words. http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/do-we-really-know-who-herman-cain-is/
I have watched that video many times. What part of that are you saying is not pro-life? He was asked whether he would want his raped granddaughter to bring up the child as her own. He said that Piers was mixing the issues, and that the particular question (whether the girl would raise the child as her own) was an issue to be decided by the family - and that what his family decided does not mean that everybody has to decide the same thing. He had already said, and I quote, “No abortion.” So the question was whether to keep the child or put the child up for adoption, and he was saying that choice is for families, not government.
What about that is not pro-life? What part of “no abortion” is unclear? You look at that and see it as waffling. I look at it and see it as clear. What is unclear about it, to you?
I’ve never held the Morgan interview against Cain. Morgan did a not-so-subtle switcheroo and apparently Cain caught him at it. Morgan asked about exceptions for rape and incest and asked, if that happened to your relative, you’d want her to raise that child?
There’s a big, big difference between abortion and “not raising a child,” or between giving birth and raising a child.
Cain’s answer was that THAT decision was for the family to make.
Nevertheless, no such trap was laid for Cain in the Stossel interview or the one with the Fox interviewer. And in those two, particularly in the Stossel interview, nobody was talking about raising a child. Cain’s reply (especially to Stossel) was bizarre, completely illogical, and damning. (Search youtube for Stossel Cain, I’m sure it’s there.)
