Rick Santorum in his own words on contraception:

“One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country,” the former Pennsylvania senator explained. “ It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be”

So your arguing that children having out of wedlock sex is a good thing? that the resultant children, abortions, and or being raised in a single parent home is a good thing?

Santorum is simply pointing out that the root cause for most poverty in the US is related to having a child out of wedlock. He sees the solving of this problem as intricatly linked to the overall health and stability of our country.

In other words, Santorum is simply arguing for a return to traditional values, he is not arguing for a ban on contraception.

I am not even a big Santorum fan and I understand this.

“the dangers of contraception in this country”

What “dangers”?

I’d rather say, if ONLY all the young women who don’t want yet to have a child, used contraceptive pills, that would dramatically lower the abortions number.

I think the contrary: young people (boys and girls) should be educated to USE contraceptives. The society won’t have to deal then with thousands of pregnant minor girls.
