Marriage, Obamacare, pro-life, and moral concerns that touch on public policy: that’s the precise context of the contraception discussion back in October, and it shows Santorum to be prescient about the turn the campaign would take. (Given Obama’s desire to overthrow religious liberty last week.)
Santorum says a president can discuss these things as part of a discussion, not as legislation, and that a president can have an impact.
He says he is who he is, and he’ll not pretend to be someone else.
Rather than soaring rates of single-mother parenting, absentee fathers, pleasure-only sexuality promoted by the culture, and children WITHOUT guidance, his suggestion is that contraception can dull people’s judgement so they get into these kinds of messes. The dangers of contraception are real.
Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
