RE: Santorum interview
And what was the context of his discussion?
NO FUNDING FOR BIRTH CONTROL.
And he would be right about that.
If someone wants to get a condom or pills, there’s an easy way to do it -— GO TO THE DRUG STORE. It’s legal you know.
from the interview:
“One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is, I think, the dangers of contraception in this country,” Santorum told interviewer Shane Vander Hart. “It’s not OK. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”
Now you and I may fully agree with this statement, but Santorum should not be surprised that the media and non-religious in the country find it extreme. Mocking the media is not going to be enough for him to get it behind him.
No, in the video linked in my post 74, Santorum was clearly pivoting away from funding, practically changing the subject. "One of the things I will talk about," he said, was the danger of contraception. And then he went on to say nothing about funding it, but rather he spoke of the moral and spiritual aspects of the subject.
It is a long interview, over 40 minutes, so again, this part of the discussion occurs about 18 minutes in.
