Jennifer Rubin: Cain?s troubles multiply

Herman Cain is having a tough time. He had a rocky debate. His campaign centerpiece, the 9-9-9 tax plan, is being skewered. He committed a major gaffe on trading Gitmo detainees. And now Rick Santorum is lambasting him for these remarks on CNN:

This is simply bizarre. He?s eloquently described his ?pro-life? views as synonymous with the standard pro-choice argument. Santorum leapt, releasing this statement: ?Herman Cain said that he believes life begins at conception, but that it?s up to the individual to decide whether or not to terminate that life. And I find it gravely troubling that Herman believes it?s a life, but that he doesn?t consider it a life worth fighting for. As the author of the partial birth abortion ban and other pro-life pieces of legislation, this is the exact mentality myself and other true pro-life advocates fought against. In fact, Herman?s pro-choice position is similar to those held by John Kerry, Barack Obama and many others on the liberal left. No, Herman, it is not ?whatever they decide,? this is an innocent human life. It is unconscionable for Herman to run for the nomination of the Party that stands in defense of Life while showing disregard for the sanctity of Life.
