Read again the above italicized title of the article by The Hill.
Rick Santorum, a strong pro-life advocate, and deep philosophical advocate of life wrote of Cain: ""Herman Cain said that he believes life begins at conception, but that it's up to the individual to decide whether or not to terminate that life," Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, said in a statement. "And I find it gravely troubling that Herman believes it's a life, but that he doesn't consider it a life worth fighting for."
"You cannot be both personally against abortion while condoning it – you can't have it both ways. We must defend the defenseless, period," Santorum concluded."
Michelle Bachmann said of Cain's comments: "You can't have all of these flip-flops in our nominee, one after another," the Minnesota congresswoman said on "Fox News Sunday." "It's making the voters' heads spin. I think it's giving people pause and they're asking real questions about what does he believe truly and how would he govern as president of the United States.""
“The only point I was trying to make: a lot of families would be in that position, and they’re not going to be thinking ‘Well, what does the government want me to do?’ “ Cain said. “My position is no abortion, but all I was trying to point out was: take the typical family in this country, and you don’t know what they might do in the heat of the moment.”
In the heat of the moment people break the law all the time. Some kill their spouses. Some shoot coworkers, or the boss. If I say, ‘In the heat of the moment a person may break the law’, does that make me in favor of breaking the law???
Honestly, xzins, this is too much. Cain is against abortion. He thinks it should be illegal. That is his position. Since you are arguing the opposite, what about this: if he’s said he is pro-choice, would you argue is his pro-life? It would make at least as much sense.
