This man is whacked like no other candidate in history, he's like the racist Duke of KKK running for office.
Here is a man who has accomplished nothing, but filling his pockets up, and running to the bank. His wife aborted a disabled child so she could live, yet he wants to blame Obama for that. The ideal that he now wants to ban prenatal screening gives this entire country insommia.
I think he needs back down and go home, and take care of his children, and leave the governing to others. There is no way in hell he will be voted in. Women in this country aren't stupid. We are not going to allow him in our bedroom, or in our doctor's office, it's none of his business.
Santorum: "Obamacare" Is A Secret Plan To Encourage Abortion

I don't post much on Rick Santorum, mainly because he's generally so far removed from reality that it isn't worth the time and effort to simply point out the obvious. But sometimes he says something so despicable that it really must be addressed. Yesterday Santorum went well off the deep end in claiming that the only reason the Health Care Reform Law covers prenatal testing (which of course has already been covered for years by most health insurance plans) is because the President wants to encourage abortion, and even hints at "genocide" against the disabled. This guy has been a joke since he entered the race, but sometimes it's just not funny.

Santorum attacks Obama on prenatal screening
By Rebecca Kaplan
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Campaigning in Ohio on Saturday, Rick Santorum displayed his culture-warrior side in full force, as he harshly attacked President Obama by suggesting the president wanted to see more disabled babies aborted and accusing him of projecting his values - which Santorum claimed were not rooted in the Bible - on the Catholic Church.
Santorum recalled his prominent role in the 1990s debates over the controversial procedure that critics call partial-birth abortion. He lambasted the president's health care law requiring insurance policies to include free prenatal testing, "because free prenatal testing ends up in more abortions and therefore less care that has to be done because we cull the ranks of the disabled in our society."
"That, too, is part of Obamacare, another hidden message as to what President Obama thinks of those who are less able than the elites who want to govern our country," Santorum said.
Prenatal tests are a standard part of modern medical care. The Department of Health and Human Services says such tests "help keep you and your baby healthy during pregnancy. It also involves education and counseling about how to handle different aspects of your pregnancy."

I am not too concerned about him as he most likely will not go farther than he has now... but then there's Mitt Romney who is an equal waste in other aspects.
Neither comes close to who Obama is and what he can offer.
The fact is Obama has tried very hard to make health care and specifically contraception affordable for women and that will REDUCE abortions and premature prenatal deaths and deaths of women during delivery and provide for healthier babies and mothers.
I do not see how any intelligent person could see this any other way but I am sure the uneducated Santorum followers will do their best to twist this all around!
YA THINK?
abortions are encouraged as a method of population control, even down to the government controlling the time between pregnancies.
I have read it and it says no such thing and the contraceptive clause will reduce abortions and unwanted pregnancies and help women to stay healthier.
Yet... I have. My first experience, as an adult (18 & a virgin), was a yearly check up and my 1st internal exam. (Being a man, I realize you can't know that experience.) I was first introduced to a counselor who brought me in to a private office where she began my file. She answered questions I never would have asked my parents and gave me correct information about diseases and procedures that friends and peers didn't have. She didn't try to "talk me into" anything. Even today, I feel it was one of the best experiences of my life as a woman.
PP reviewed my health yearly, supplying various birth control methods over the years, until I was married and planning to get pregnant for the 1st time at age 30. One month after I had an IUD removed, I was pregnant and seeing the "baby doctors".
During all those years, I saw fantastic doctors who treated me as if I was the only patient they had.... Once, I accompanied a friend from Boston to NYC for an abortion when they were still illegal in MA. The office did all the prerequisites of counseling, exams and tests... and then the followup check up with emotional counseling included. Every experience was perfectio...

I paid for every visit, with no insurance, but no fees were excessive.
In summary... Don't believe everything you hear.... and acknowledge that in any situation there will be flaws.
of those young girls but instead they perform the abortions and then let those girls go back to lives of hell. Hand out the birth control pills but get out of the abortion business with taxpayer money.
As far as underage girls go... I have a very dear friend who practiced law and is brilliant... She represented many under age girls who chose not to tell their parents...in many cases where it would have been very dangerous had they told their parents. Each individual case has to be treated as such.
I was very close to my mom with many things...but she was from a different age group with different values and ideas. She was the most prejudice person I have ever known... and I'm not at all. That's what makes the world go 'round.

Why bring my political preference in to the conversation ?
What give you the idea, that you're superior to others ?
stats from 20 years ago?
If you don't like abortions, don't have one.
for convenience. That is a poster for extreme selfishness.
