1. Santorum is not opposed to Birth control.

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.

Rick Santorum sought to bring some clarity to his birth control position on Friday, which he said has been misconstrued by opponents which have put him on both sides of the issue.

“My position is birth control can and should be available,” the former senator from Pennsylvania said at a campaign event in Columbus, Ohio.

(Also, you sound like a true leftist arguing that someone shouldn’t have a contrary opinion on a “settled topic” That’s exactly what the left says about abortion and Roe v. Wade.”
