Abortion was the third hot-button issue to be brought up. Cain, along with Mitt Romney, has refused to sign a pledge circulated by the Susan B. Anthony List. Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty and Rick Santorum each signed, vowing to nominate judges and appoint executive branch officials who are opposed to abortion. The pledge also commits signers to push legislation to end all taxpayer funding of abortion and to sign a law to “protect unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from abortion.”
Cain explained that he could not pledge to “advance” legislation as president because that’s the job of the Congress.

“I don’t know about other folks, but I read, and I had problems with one word in there,” he said. “But people went nuts … They didn’t consider that small request or point of clarification good enough so they threw me under the bus.”
He stressed that he opposes all abortion rights, from conception to delivery.
