Marriage, Obamacare, pro-life, and moral concerns that touch on public policy: that’s the precise context of the contraception discussion back in October, and it shows Santorum to be prescient about the turn the campaign would take. (Given Obama’s desire to overthrow religious liberty last week.)

Santorum says a president can discuss these things as part of a discussion, not as legislation, and that a president can have an impact.

He says he is who he is, and he’ll not pretend to be someone else.

Rather than soaring rates of single-mother parenting, absentee fathers, pleasure-only sexuality promoted by the culture, and children with guidance, his suggestion is that contraception can dull people’s judgement so they get into these kinds of messes. The dangers of contraception are real.

There was a thread the other day that talked about Pope Paul VI's "Humanae Vitae" and how it foretold the breakdown of the family and morality, rise in illegitimate births, women being turned in to sex objects, etc. as the result of contraception.

When this was written in 1968 a lot of people, including a great many Catholics, rejected it as outdated thinking, etc. However, we are now seeing that his predictions were completely accurate.
