Heman (sic) Cain Supports Pro-Life Amendment

A remarkable public policy journey is completed.

by John Hayward

10/24/2011

The end of a saga that began with “Herman Cain’s Pro-Choice Moment” moment came on Saturday, when Cain declared himself in favor of a Constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion entirely.

“Yes. Yes I feel that strongly about it. If we can get the necessary support and it comes to my desk I’ll sign it. That’s all I can do. I will sign it..”

(snip)

Also, Cain’s still missing an important point in his response to Brody’s question about a pro-life amendment. When he says “That’s all I can do. I will sign it,” he’s wrong. That’s not all he can do. It will matter a great deal whether or not he uses the bully pulpit of the presidency to advance that cause. He’d better be ready for some pointed follow-up questions in future debates.

The problem with "that's all I can do" is that he can't even do that! http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1011/Cain_would_autograph_life_amendment.html">Presidents don't sign Constitutional amendments.
