“who advocates ending prenatal testing?”
Ending prenatal testing? Did he really say that?
Here’s what he said;
“Santorum said he is talking specifically about amniocentesis, an invasive test where amniotic fluid is taken from the womb. He said the procedure “actually creates a risk of having a miscarriage when you have it, and is done for the purposes of identifying maladies of a child in the womb. In many cases and in fact most cases, physicians recommend, particularly if there’s a problem, recommend abortion. . . .”
Further;
“Despite the fact that sonograms and blood tests are also capable of detecting abnormalities in pregnancies, Santorum said he feels sonograms and “all sorts of prenatal testing” are acceptable, and if he were an employer, he would provide it in his health insurance, but he feels differently about amniocentesis. “
We’re being lied to by the left-wing press, and you’re buying it? Did you read the article? “Ending prenatal testing” is what the libs want you to think. And I ain’t a Santorum guy. My guy is out.
He spent the remaining 5 minutes defending his statements on Public Education.
I think most conservatives support his position on all of these things.
But I lament the fact in that full 12.5 minutes he didn't get to talk about the size and scope of the federal government, energy prices/policy, taxes, spending, debt or national security.
This has been my contention all along. This is all Santorum will ever get to talk about in the media. And not by his choice.
