Santorum: Favors amending the Constitution to ban abortion. He says that human life begins at conception and doctors who perform abortions should be charged as criminals. In his book, he compared women who have abortions to 19th-century slaveholders, writing that "unlike abortion today, in most states even the slaveholder did not have the unlimited right to kill his slave." In the past, Santorum supported allowing abortions in cases of rape or incest, but he now says no to those exceptions.
Why does he single out doctor who provide clinical abortions but wouldn't attempt to stop distribution or the pill or IUD's that also chemically or mechanically kill the life created at conception? Boht the pill and the IUD's failsafe is to keep the womb hostile to the fertilized egg allow the egg to free fall as menstural flow.
What's the difference between a scapel and a pill or IUD? In each scenario, the result is the loss of life if you believe life begins at conception.
