1. Santorum is not opposed to Birth control. When we should be applauding him for standing up for the right of the Catholic church not to have to pay for birth control and abortion pills both of which violate the church’s deeply held religious beliefs, we are instead joining the left in falsely accusing santorum of being in favor of banning birth control.
I applaud him for standing up for right of Catholic Church, and I wish he would just make it more about liberty for all from government and not just the church, but to his credit, he has at least mentioned that.
When he goes off into what sex is for, however, is when he is outside of the proper role of government and just opens the entire party up for ridicule.
Yes, he is. Santorum is personally opposed to birth control. He has been clear that he would not try to ban, block or otherwise make it unavailable - but he personally believes contraception is a bad thing and has never been afraid to say so. In fact, he has been quite vocal about this issue. He is on record saying that as President he would be unique in that he would talk about why contraception is bad for society. This is not even close to where the American public is. Every time he opens his trap to talk about the evils of rubbers and birth control, Obama will gain heaps of extra votes from Americans that can't figure out why Rick is preaching at them on a topic the public long ago settled. Contraception is here to stay. Any candidate that can't keep his mouth shut about it, should not be our nominee.
Actually, Santorum Is against birth control of all kind. He is on two videos saying so. The first video has him saying as president he would give every state the right to ban all contraceptives. The second video he goes on about the evils of contraception and how he is against it and why. It started playing this morning.
