THIS SHOULD BE EXCELLENT! have a great Sunday everybody!
Seven page super hit piece.
...shortly after, however, my heart was totally changed when my Lutheran pastor sent me to a pro-life rally to report back/
From that day forward, I literally went to the mats to defend the life of the unborn.----and as Rick Santorum passionately did on the floor of the Senate!
People can genuinely change!
Are you Newt aficionadoes so deperate that you would dredge up a 17 yr old article...to once again paint Rick Santorum with your wicked brush?????
This is pathetic.
So he cut his teeth (politically speaking) after reading Gingrich.
I’d much rather have the guy who literally wrote the book. Go Newt.
Thanks for posting this 1995 article. I had heard about his pro-choice stance, but hadn’t seen any articles to prove it. Anyone who doesn’t think this will be all over the media if Rick wins the nomination is fooling themselves.
That his wife lived with an abortionist before Rick is also not well-known.
I’ll take Newt’s warts.
"I Was Basically Pro-Choice All My Life, Until I Ran for Congress" (1995)
Well, that's certainly a...
Nixon: Jeeeesus Christ.
...moment in the 2012 race to gOpieville.
1995, Rick Santorum: “I was basically pro-choice all my life, until I ran for Congress. But it had never been something I thought about.”
“So why did you change?”
RS: “I sat down and read the literature. Scientific literature.”
“So religion had nothing to do with it?”
RS: “Oh, well, of course. And religion too. It was both of those, science and religion.”

This great debate on Santorum’s pro life/choice history is ... well, great.
Think we’ll have one on Santorum’s history on jobs, taxes, government spending, spending cuts and judges, any time soon?
This story originally appeared in the December 1995 issue under the title, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Santorum."You have to ask yourself two questions. First, why did this paper ressurect an old hit piece on Santorum, and CHANGE the headline to the "pro-choice" quote?
And second, why are conservatives who can have no doubt about Santorum's pro-life record posting this decade's old article now, when the supposed Gingrich strategy is for Santorum to get as many votes as possible to stop Romney?
This article certainly won't keep Romney from getting a single vote, and will likely help Romney win more votes in Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
