    Rush Limbaugh was raked over the coals for this. He came out and said he had changed his opinion and was now pro choice. He chose LIFE. The pro abortion crowd nearly blew their collective heads off (no big deal since the heads were empty).

    What that did was expose them for their real agenda which is anything but choice. Had they been "Pro Choice, they would have been ambivalent over any choice. By their reaction to Rush, they were obviously anti-LIFE.

    Well Huckabee ain't too happy with the Cain train for these remarks. Hucks got alot of influence in Iowa too.

    Hope this isn't the derailment. Cause if he doesn't do well in Iowa he isn't going to win the nomination. He doesn't have the money.

    Things only got more complicated when Cain went on to say on Fox News that he was so pro-choice, as far as the government’s place in the abortion debate stands, that he would disregard the law in an event where a family member was legally prohibited from receiving an abortion. Needless to say, for Huckabee, this was a bridge too far.

    Calling the stance “very pro-choice,” Huckabee argued that even with Cain trying to backtrack by calling himself “100% pro-life,” there was little repair he could do to his comments. “The damage has been done,” Huckabee concluded, particularly with religious voters and social conservatives. “He cannot win Iowa by offending them,

    If Cain danced around a bon fire with goat skin leggings I would still support him at this point. Any Conservative that can unseat the current Narcissistic Potentate has my backing.

    You got that right. I don't care whether Cain is pro choice or pro life. I just want obonehead out of office.

    It's amazing! What was such a big issue (to me at least) three years ago has paled in comparison to what we have facing us now. It's not on the radar. I don't care. What our problems are today have just so overwhelmed and overshadowed someone's pro life or not position has become meaningless.

    I'm glad you see it that way. The liberal media will attempt to make ancillary and unimportant topics into "issues." Then they will start to convince us who is "electable" and "unelectable." We need to resist allowing the media and the RINO political class convince us of who the candidate "has" to be.

    If we do not nominate a true Conservative, we will ensure another 4 years of the Idiot-In-Chief.

    As if the abortion issue is as show stopper. It is a low priority issue IMO.

    Saying they are pro choice is a way of sugar coating their true opinions, a way of avoiding the morality issue of abortions.
