People are not "incorrectly responding", they know exactly what Cain said and meant but are dishonestly trying to distort his statements, all in an effort to help the candidate of their choice or, in Santorum's case, to help himself.
People are sick and tired of the dishonest crap the Democrats have pulled the past few years and I believe they will also reject the dishonesty of Republicans. When pathetic garbage like Morgan becomes the ally of supporters of Republican candidates, one has to wonder how different these people really are from liberals.
I know what he said, and he was hedging. He wouldn't sign the pro life pledge, why not? The president shouldn't advocate for life? The president makes decisions that can prevent abortions (stem cells, federal funding). Cain says “not my job”.
I heard someone say once about anti abortion legislation, that it isn't really anti abortion if at the end of the bill or law or regulation, you can say “and THEN you can kill the baby”.
Restrictions and exceptions to abortion are not pro life positions. We MUST save ALL the children. 50,000,000 have already died. How many more must die? Cain thinks that it is okay for some of them to die, I don't.
