It's not clear to me that this answer is going to quell the questions about his stand on abortion, but Herman Cain just gave a statement to Christian Broadcast News' David Brody, in which he essentially said he was answering Piers Morgan literally in his muddled answer on abortion on Wednesday night.
He also said he would "advance the culture of life" as president. But he didn't address Roe v Wade specifically (although he did say he would appoint constructionist jurists).
Continue ReadingThe statement:
?Yesterday 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 ?order? 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."
