The Transcript – No Comments Needed

BOB SCHIEFFER: Okay. I want to ask you, since we're on the subject of abortion, it was at one point back there when the question of Planned Parenthood came up and you said that it was not Planned Parenthood, it was really planned genocide. Because you said Planned Parenthood was trying to put all these centers into the Black communities because they wanted to kill Black babies--

HERMAN CAIN (overlapping): Yes.

BOB SCHIEFFER: --before they were born. You still stand by that?

HERMAN CAIN: I still stand by that.

BOB SCHIEFFER: Do you have any proof that that was the objective of Planned Parenthood?

HERMAN CAIN: If people go back and look at the history and look at Margaret Sanger's own words, that's exactly where that came from. Look-- look up the history. So if you go back and look up the history-- secondly, look at where most of them were built. Seventy-five percent of those facilities were built in the Black community. And Margaret Sanger's own words-- she didn't use the word genocide but she did talk about preventing the-- the increasing number of poor Blacks in this country by preventing Black babies from being born.

Cain’s claim is a ridiculous, cynical play of the race card. We rate it Pants on Fire.
