Herman Cain tries to "clarify" abortion stance

Bad pizza kingpin Herman Cain has spent the last several days articulating a coherent pro-choice position. But of course, that's anathema to the GOP primary electorate. So he's begun his walkback and sunk into utter incoherence.

MacCALLUM: The question is do you believe abortion should be legal in this country for families who want to make that decision?

CAIN: No, no, no, I do not believe abortion should be legal in this country if that’s the question.

MacCALLUM: Then you’re saying that if those circumstances come up and the family does make that decision, that they decide that that is the best thing for this young person, or she decides that on her own if that’s what they decided that it would be an illegal abortion that they would need to seek.

CAIN: It would be an illegal abortion. Look, abortion should not be legal, that is clear, but if that family made a decision to break the law, that is that family’s decision, that’s all I’m trying to stay.

Got that? Abortions should be illegal, but it's up to families whether to get one. So, you know, murder should be illegal, but it's up to families to decide whether they're going to pop a cap in someone's ass!

As hard as he tries, he can't coherently articulate an anti-abortion stance without completely repudiating (ie flip flopping) his previous pro-choice position from just a few days ago:

[I]t ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make. Not me as president, not some politician, not a bureaucrat. It gets down to that family, and whatever they decide, they decide. I shouldn't try to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive decision.
