Santorum: Abortion

Birth Control Dept: Where less-virile candidates rail against abortion, Mr. Santorum denounces even birth control. One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is, I think, the dangers of contraception in this country, he told an interviewer last October. Many of the Christian faith have said, Well, that's okay. Contraception is okay.' It's not okay. It's a licence to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be. , according to Globe and Mail. To give the then-senator from Pennsylvania a lesson in the dangers of abusive language, the Seattle-based but nationally syndicated columnist asked his readers to come up with alternative, offensive meanings for santorum. The winning entry defined it as, to put it delicately, a byproduct of anal sex and yet the truth is that, whether you're with him or against him, Mr. Santorum's candidacy is all about sex. From birth control to abortion to same-sex marriage, matters of the heart and loins are the main planks in his conservative-culture-warrior platform. And that seduced enough of the Republican base to have brought him within eight votes of victory in this week's Iowa primary. He has also used remarkably pungent terms to attack same-sex marriage, comparing it in 2003 to man-on-child or man-on-dog sex. Those remarks earned the ire of gay-rights activists including, unfortunately for Mr. Santorum, sex-advice columnist Dan Savage. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
