Herman Cain Takes Yet Another Position on Abortion: Jail
This is starting to resemble a Saturday Night Live skit that goes on way too long, as Herman Cain finds yet another way to express the cognitive dissonance of his position(s) on abortion: GOP 12: Cain: It should be illegal for rape victims to have abortion.
FOX HOST MARTHA MACCALLUM: Do you believe that abortion should be legal in this country for families who want to make that decision [to abort]?
CAIN: No. I do not believe abortion should be legal in this country, if that’s the question.
MACCALLUM: So then you’re saying that if those circumstances come up and the family does make that decision, that they decide that that is the best thing for this young person or she decides that on her own, then if that’s what they decided, then it would be an illegal abortion that they would seek.
CAIN: It would be an illegal abortion! Look, abortion should not be legal — that is clear — but if that family made a decision to break the law, that’s their decision.
Previously, Cain said that if a “family” (not just a woman alone, that’s unthinkable) made a decision to have an abortion because the woman was raped or her life was in danger, as President he would not try to tell them they couldn’t get that abortion.
Now we know what he really meant. He’d just throw them in jail.
Glad he cleared that up.
