Video: Herman Cain Says No Abortion "Under Any Circumstance"
Appearing on NBC's 'Meet the Press' on Sunday, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said that he didn’t agree with abortion “under any circumstance.”
The candidate, who has promised to work to overturn Roe v. Wade, told host David Gregory that he believes in “life from conception.”
“I do not agree with abortion under any circumstance,” he insisted.
“Exceptions for rape and incest?” Gregory asked.
“Not for rape and incest,” Cain replied. “Because if you look at rape and incest, the percentage of those instances is so miniscule that there are other options.”
But when it came to cases where the life of the mother was at stake, Cain gave a little wiggle room for her survival: “If it’s the life of the mother, that family is going to have to make that decision.”

Really? Lets see if you can support your idiocy.
You have a gun in your hand. An intruder has a gun to your mothers head and is about to pull the trigger. Make your 'moral' choice.
"“Not for rape and incest,” Cain replied. “Because if you look at rape and incest, the percentage of those instances is so miniscule that there are other options.” ================================================================================================================================ EXACTLY, moron. They are SO uncommon and so EXTREME that they MUST be treated differently than some woman who is using abortion for birth control just because she carelessly got knocked up. That you cant see the difference, Cain, tells me that youre too damned stupid to run this country.

The more I read this comment the more it stands out for the garbage Straw man that it is. *I* am talking about a RAPIST who has violently VIOLATED a woman who ends up pregnant by this mutant. Its not about liking or disliking someone. Its not as trivial a damned matter as not liking his attitude or his breath. Its about his VIOLENCE against a woman...his violation of her body....his unlawful, degenerate, antisocial, sociopathic VIOLENCE against another human being that we are talking about here. Honestly, Im not even surprised that some ignorant web nut cannot see the difference. We're NOT talking about aborting because we dont 'like' this dog. We're talking about aborting because of the emotional damage that has ALREADY been inflicted on this woman and the likelyhood that bearing this animals child will only further torment her. But its all good. Herman Cain will never win the election anyway, so its a moot point. I'll say, however, that we'll see how HERMAN CAIN deals with HIS wife or daughter...or grand daughter....being savagely raped and impregnated. Next months pay says that when its HIS family that he'll change his song and dance if HIS women want to abort over an extreme situation. The funniest thing is that YOU arent kidding anyone either. Ive dealt with your sort many times over the years. We BOTH know that if it was YOUR daughter, wife, sister or even mother that you'd make any damned concession for abortion you could for THEIR extreme scenario. Yeah yeah...rant all you want to try to deny it, but we've seen enough from your sort to know better. Youre all talk until it affects YOUR life and those around you. You dont have to admit it...its simply fact.
For the rest of you here with more than 5 brain cells, what we are talking about here IS the 'extreme' cases. Such as rape, incest (which in a lot of cases ends up being rape) and the danger of the mother (and the baby as well) dying. These ARE EXTREME cases...THAT is the POINT! In EXTREME cases the GENERAL rule of 'no abortions' should be overlooked and on an individual basis a decision should be made by the WOMAN herself if she wishes to have an abortion. She should NOT have to die for the child. SELF DEFENSE IS A RIGHT. She should NOT have to be traumatized even more by carrying her rapists child and giving birth to it. These ARE EXTREME CASES..and although the moron J-Jammer cant comprehend it the EXTREME cases ARE EXACTLY what I am talking about.
You allow your morals to change based on extremes? If you believe in NOT killing and you kill someone in defense of yourself when you could have just subdued them...you never really believed in not killing. If you cannot abide by your own morals in every situation, then you don't believe in your own views as you state.

As I presented to your idiot self elsewhere.
You have a gun in your hand A man has a gun to your mothers head and is going to shoot her Make your 'moral' choice.
"A life is a life" = Thats right. And the woman who is raped or about to die IS a LIFE as well.
moved.
Girl is raped by daddy and this mutant says she has to have her fathers child? He's as demented as the rapist.
Abortion shouldnt be allowed for use as birth control. Rape and incest or mothers life in danger should absolutely be up to the mother to decide. Sorry Mr Cain. You almost had me looking for your name on election day.
