With a weak economy coupled with rapidly increasing gasoline prices, Santorum will likely lose even in a debate with Ron Paul the obstectrics specialist who has delivered thousands of babies and consider prenatal screening a necessary test that helps prepare doctors and parents for future medical needs.
Preclude prenatal testing?
Does ANYONE really believe that even 20% of women in America will vote for someone who advocates ending prenatal testing?
If you are pro-choice you are also pro sex selection. That means you thkink it is ok to abort more girl babies...nothing like a real fem position.

You might observe what has happened in India.

Gallup Todays 19 Feb GOP Ballot Support: Santorum 36% (+1), Romney 28% (-1), Gingrich 13% (-).
Where is Uncle Nujob Paul?
I understand Santorum’s opposition to the specific procedure listed in the stories. Note in the article he had nothing against insurance companies covering sonograms and other methods to detect deficiencies.
My issue is with Obamacare that REQUIRES FREE prenatal testing. We already know death panels are in the bill for the elderly to take a “pain pill” when their conditions are too expensive to treat. So if the Government pays for prenatal care and a deficiency is found, what is to stop them from refusing to cover the child’s condition after it is born (citing cost), and instead, offerring a “Free” abortion.
This is MORESO about Obamacare than first let on. And if so, Santorum is absolutely right that it would lead to more abortions, especially if Obamacare is paying for the procedure and treating the unborn like elderly (with death panels).
Hellooo, poopheads (not meaning you Freepers)! He said that testing such as the invasive amniocentesis shouldn’t be provided FREE. That’s all. And yes, children with problems are routinely, usually ABORTED. Pay for your amnio yourself. Sheesh.
I’m proud of him. I’ve been saying on FR that many abortions these days, performed in nice hospitals by “good” ob’s, are second trimester abortions to older, middle class and up, moms, because their amnio genetic results showed a baby with down syndrome or other problem. No one really gravitated to fight this. It’s not just early abortions to poor black moms. Doctors all but insist women abort kids with problems.
Right now, insurances usually only cover amnio for over 30 women, so younger women choose not to get it, because they would have to pay for it. So now you see more Down Syndrome babies born to younger women, when they are far more prevalent conceived by older women. Where did they all go?? They were sucked or scraped out, to heaven.
Bravo Rick. Let the media lie about this. Then hit them with the facts: amnio will never be illegal. It’s a good test. Many families would like to know, to prepare, for genetic problems in their child. But it should be something you pay for on your own.
Oh my gosh!!!!
I just watched the video! Rick was awesome and was saying what I’ve wanted candidates to say for years! It was like a dream! He had a faded old liberal windbag ridiculing him with scorn and Rick just laughed and schooled him!! He slammed Obama on his desire to kill the unborn, and the born survivors of abortion.
I support him more now than I did before I saw this video. Going to his site to donate. Watch this if you haven’t yet. This is the guy we want against Obama!
A must see.
Administrators, please put barf alert in the headline! CBS is lying about what Santorum said!!
He is not against prenatal testing and says so clearly in the video.
Anything said by a Republican relating to anything having to do with medicine or sex will always always always be taken out of context and played as showing the GOP is comprised of woman-hating sexphobes.
Why can't anyone in a position of GOP influence figure this out and train candidates accordingly?
You know, my country is being taken over from within by communists and fascists at this current time, and quite frankly
I DON’T REALLY GIVE A FLYING **** ABOUT WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE ISSUES OR CONTRACEPTION, AND I’M NOT TOO DAMN LIKELY TO SUPPORT SOMEONE WHO CAN’T GET PAST THIS NONSENSE.
At this point in time, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Santorum will not be president, because no liberal woman is going to vote for him, and I’d estimate that about a good 98% percent of them are quite liberal.
Bob Schieffer seemed genuinely stunned by the conservative opinions of Santorum. He needs to step out of the liberal echo chamber once in a while.
BS never heard environmentalism called a religion or theology? Doesn’t know the difference between a result (of prenatal testing) and a purpose? Never met anyone who thinks that public education is not ideal?
BS: What did you MEAN, Senator? What planet are you from? You are SCARING me! Please take it back!
Is this really the Romney MO, now? Having the MSM and shills on Internet message boards lie about what Rick Santorum says and believes? Really?
