"Women have been in combat for years now. Women have used birth control for decades now. Some of your comments are so unbelievably naive. When you said that contraception was “bad for America”, I thought: “Hey Rick, if we didn’t have contraception, we’d have millions more bastard kids to support through the Welfare system than we have now.” People are going to have sex, Rick. Just because you believe it is primarily for procreation, some of us like a little intimacy with our spouse once in awhile without having 19 kids, like the Duggar family that has endorsed you."

That's bad enough, but there is worse to come:

Here is a quote from Santorum's book that should scare anyone who wants the government out of his/her life (like me).

"This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don’t think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we (the government) shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone. That there is no such society that I am aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture."

I don't want Santorum with his big government boots to come storming in my life and in my bedroom and make regulations on how I have to live my own life. I DO want to be left alone and only hear (briefly) about the government, if I (shortly) switch on the TV. The idea that such a man with such ideas, may become president, gives me the creeps.

These issues mentioned are why Santorum will not get elected for President. Our society is determined to have “free sex” forgetting their are consequences and no regard that there are. It is an easy thing in our nation to “dispose” of the “evidence”...as much as prevent. But these too are a matter of choice and self-control. Few have it...and no reason to in todays thinking...

I work with a 21 Yr. old who has moved into a house with her boyfriend. Both families have given furniture, household equipment etc. so that these two can live together. So it’s encouraged by family’s themselves. It’s now perfectly acceptable to “try” live together and that with the full support of families.
