Heh. Nice try.

Herman Cain "clarified" his position today. http://blogs.cbn.com...-the-culture.aspx Herman Cain Statement: ÂYesterday in an interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, I was asked questions about abortion policy and the role of the President. I understood the thrust of the question to ask whether that I, as president, would simply ÂorderÂ people to not seek an abortion. My answer was focused on the role of the President. The President has no constitutional authority to order any such action by anyone. That was the point I was trying to convey. As to my political policy view on abortion, I am 100% pro-life. End of story. I will appoint judges who understand the original intent of the Constitution. Judges who are committed to the rule of law know that the Constitution contains no right to take the life of unborn children. I will oppose government funding of abortion. I will veto any legislation that contains funds for Planned Parenthood. I will do everything that a President can do, consistent with his constitutional role, to advance the culture of life." Yeah. He's a personal-liberty-people-make-their-own-decision and states-rights guy when it comes to this issue. Or something. Sure. :-/ (Note that "order" doesn't appear in the CNN transcript of the abortion discussion.) What really happened is he got schooled on Republican orthodoxy by the Republican base, and Santorum and Bachmann, today. He put his Maverick cape away and got back in the group. FWIW. Cheers, Scott.

Just last week, though, Cain appeared to take the opposite position on abortion, telling Fox Business NetworkÂs John Stossel that Âabortion should not be legalÂ Â although even in that interview, he confused the hosts about just what his position was. Also, in 2003, he said he supported a Constitutional amendment outlawing abortion. The confusing set of statements from the new GOP frontrunner represents just the latest instance in which Cain appears to be trying to take positions on both sides of an issue. And itÂs opening him up to charges of being a flip-flopper. (via http://www.esquire.c...zai-video-6520690 ) FWIW. Cheers, Scott.

Post #349,496 by lincoln 10/21/11 1:05:46 PM Reply	translation: "When I'm president, I won't have the authority to order people to not have abortions. However, I will appoint to every judgeship that I can judges who will guarantee that they will prevent pro-abortion laws from being enforced and strike them down in any way possible. Thus, I'll outlaw abortion in this country by circumventing the Legislature." "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
