Herman Cain belatedly added his name to the list of candidates signing the Susan B. Anthony List?s anti-abortion pledge Tuesday, leaving only Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman as non-signers of the conservative group?s central campaign document.
Continue ReadingCain?s move follows some confusion last month over his views on abortion, after he told CNN host Piers Morgan that terminating a pregnancy is a ?choice that that family or that mother has to make.?
He subsequently said his words were taken out of context, and he leaves no doubt about his position in a statement today: ?I am an associate Baptist Minister and am 100 percent pro-life. ? Where my powers in the Executive Branch are concerned, I will work at all times to oppose government funding of abortion. I will veto any legislation that contains funds for abortions.?
The two holdouts ? Huntsman and Romney ? have resisted the SBA List pledge for different reasons. Huntsman has said he will not sign pledges on principle, while Romney?s campaign has expressed concern about the pledge?s broad requirements to nominate abortion opponents in the executive branch and block funding for institutions that provide abortions.
Maggie points out that the pledge has become an issue in at least one early state, as the SBA List circulated fliers at last weekend?s Iowa debate with a big ?No? written next to Cain and Romney.
