Those of us who value all human life—born and unborn, family and the Consititution will break for Santorum.
None of these things are truly important to Newt, Romney or Perry.
Not “truly important” to Newt?
Come ON — he has a 98% pro-life voting record!
Yes, Santorum has championed this issue for years. But it’s not the only issue.
I’ve fought the pro-life issue since the early 90’s, working in emergency pregnancy centers. It’s an issue that will be fought over for YEARS until Americans change their hearts once again towards the role of women in society.
Do I use it as a litmus when screening out candidates in the first round? You bet I do. But to parse what we have now with this — I think we’re being a bit short sighted.
On another note, I read the story about Karen Santorum and I feel for her. This happened a very long time ago and both she and her husband have proven their commitment to the pro-life cause. If anyone tries to use this issue to beat down Santorum's commitment to the pro-life cause, they are making a mistake.
