Rick Santorum: Santorum

Prenatal Testing Dept: But the former Pennsylvania senator has always been a culture warrior at heart. Santorum's weekend musings about limiting access to prenatal testing for pregnant women, and his accusations that President Barack Obama adheres to a "phoney theology," gave Americans a fresh glimpse of the polarizing style of politics that has long been central to his career, according to Montreal Gazette. Speaking to Tea Party activists in Columbus, Ohio, Santorum suggested Obama favoured increased abortions of disabled babies because of requirements in his new health care law that women receive free prenatal testing and rick Santorum climbed to the top of the GOP presidential heap on a ladder forged from blue-collar conservatism - wooing working-class Republicans with tales of his own family's coal-mining history and an economic message rooted in the need to revive American manufacturing. The sudden pivot to social issues also underscores Santorum's calculation that the GOP nomination can be won by appealing to "guns and Bible" Republicans who feel economically disenfranchised and culturally alienated from East Coast elites.
