Now here’s a full transcript of the 2006 Santorum video:

Host: So, would birth control be covered by that notion of freedom without responsibility?

Santorum: I’m—look, I vote and have supported, you know, birth control because it is not the taking of a human life. But, you know, I’m not a believer in birth control—in artificial birth control. Again, I think it goes down the line of being able to do whatever you want to do without having the responsibility that comes with that. And I don’t think it—it breaks what I think—now, this is from a personal point of view. From a governmental point of view, I support, you know, Title X, I guess it is, and have voted for contraception—although I don’t think it works. I think it’s harmful to women, I think it’s harmful to our society to have a society that says that, you know, sex outside of marriage is something that should be encouraged or tolerated, particularly among the young, and I think it has—and we’ve seen very, very harmful long-term consequences to a society. So birth control to me enables that, and I don’t think it’s a healthy thing for our country.”

Sen. Santorum not only “doesn’t vote against contraception,” but voted to subsidize it. (Title X is a Nixon-era family-planning program that directs federal taxpayer money to, among others, the pro-abortion group Planned Parenthood.)

You need to get with the program, start swallowing media lies hook, line & sinker, and wring your hands about ‘unelectable’ conservative candidates.
