re: #16 Simply Sarah

Include me as someone who is confused about where Cain stands on abortion. I actually, much to my dismay, find that I semi-agree with Vander Plaats on this as Cain seems to be waffling between pro-life and a weak quasi pro-choice position, although clearly his statements about cutting/preventing funding for women’s health services is far from pro-choice.

I wonder what Cain’s game is. Is he trying to balance between appeasing the anti-abortion crowd on the right without scaring away women and pro-choice men? Is he just clueless on this issue and how it plays to much of the GOP base (I have no idea how you could be so ignorant, but I’ve seen stranger things)? Is he, secretly, at least partially pro-choice and therefore is having trouble throwing his support behind the radical anti-abortion agenda? I mean, I won’t vote for him regardless, but I’m curious to know.

He’s just saying that he can’t order anyone to not have an abortion, but he can make it impossible through court appointments and vetoes.
