Father First, Senator Second:
Santorum was pro-life from the time he first ran for Congress, but it wasn't an issue he was vocal about. Santorum never gave a speech about abortion in the House or Senate until the late-term-abortion debates of 1996 and 1997

Rick Santorum:

In 1990, Santorum became the United States Representative for the 18th District of Pennsylvania. He was re-elected to this seat and set his sights higher to serving in the Senate.
Note: Elected in 1990, and was pro-life from the time he FIRST RAN.

Now, where is your evidence to the contrary?

I already posted the newspaper excerpt from 1990. Why don't you look it up before attacking me? In that excerpt, it describes how his initial position was to oppose abortion only in the last trimester when it was viable that the fetus was a baby. He quietly withdrew this position paper. He had also called himself a "progressive conservative" at that time. If you cannot find my post, please let me know and I will pull it up for you in the evening.
