As an exploratory committee looks into the possibility of a conservative radio commentator running for president in 2012, the prospective candidate is sharing his thoughts on social issues.
Herman Cain explains that the committee is considering the amount of support he is likely to receive -- including financial support. Meanwhile, the businessman and radio host is sharing his thoughts on social issues, including whether he would work with Congress to defund Planned Parenthood.
"I absolutely would defund Planned Parenthood -- not because I don't believe in planning parenthood, [but because] Planned Parenthood as an organization is an absolute farce on the American people," he notes. "People who know the history of Margaret Sanger, who started Planned Parenthood, they know that the intention was not to help young women who get pregnant to plan their parenthood. No -- it was a sham to be able to kill black babies."
He points out that anyone who needs more proof on that truth should look no further than where Planned Parenthood clinics are located, as "75 percent of all Planned Parenthood facilities are located in black neighborhoods."
Aside from the abortion issue, Cain has supported the military's ban on homosexuals and says he would have never repealed it as president. As for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA - a proposed bill that would prohibit "discrimination" against workers on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity), the conservative commentator explains that he "would veto that relative to special rights to homosexuals."
Cain made his comments Monday afternoon on American Family Radio's Focal Point program.
