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.”

Show me the source in this article for Santorum's quote. No mention of who he said this to, such as an editorial board.
Santorum’s “record” shows he endorsed and voted for a PRO CHOICE judges, candidates. His wife was pro choice when he married her.
Santorum is a pious fraud! too bad he has managed to slither his way through so much of the election without being fully vetted. Cain,Perry, Newt were all vetted thoroughly...slinky man has evaded the process. All the christians hear are his little sound bites on porn and prophylactics.
Judicial endorsements..look at the most liberal Clinton judge for the 9th cirucit in Calif...most republicans did not go along with her but Santorum did.
