…and this right here is it….:
SANTORUM: Well, you can make the argument that if she doesn’t have this baby, if she kills her child, that that, too, could ruin her life. And this is not an easy choice. I understand that. As horrible as the way that that son or daughter and son was created, it still is her child. And whether she has that child or doesn’t, it will always be her child. And she will always know that. And so to embrace her and to love her and to support her and get her through this very difficult time, I’ve always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. As you know, we have to, in lots of different aspects of our life. We have horrible things happen. I can’t think of anything more horrible. But, nevertheless, we have to make the best out of a bad situation.

I want it to be publicly known; that I as a Conservative Christian, albeit a moderate one —- do not support this sort of extremist tripe at all. What kind of tone-deaf jack ass is this man? This is the reason Rick Santorum will never, in a million year, be President of the United States of America. Let alone anything else, because just as America is not a extremist left wing Country, it is also not an extremist right wing Country either. The American people are just not too keen on extremism of any kind; and this is sort that they shrink away from; which is why this man is doing horribly in the polls.
I just wonder, if Rick Santorum’s adult daughter and wife were raped by a group of large black man anally and vaginally, and turned up pregnant; would be feel the same way? I highly doubt it. This idiotic tripe right here is why I back-away from the pro-life movement.
I happen to agree with this quote from quote from Tanya Somanader at think progress:
The problem with Santorum’s sense of humanity is that it doesn’t seem to extend to the victim. The emotional and physical trauma endured during and after a sexual assault often leaves a woman feeling robbed of any control over her own body and welfare. Robbing a woman of the choice to decide what to do with such “horribly created” consequences only contributes to the victim’s trauma.
What’s more, Santorum’s argument forces a woman in these circumstances to share his religious beliefs and “accept what God has given to [her.]” A woman may very well share his belief and decide to carry the pregnancy to the term, but the fundamental point is that that should be her choice — not the government’s, and certainly not Santorum’s.
Amen to that. Especially the Federal Government not dolts like Santorum and his pope-worshiping idiotic self.
Here’s the video, if you care to watch such tripe:
What an idiot, and an extremist idiot at that! 🙄
Again, this man is not just a part of the Christian Right, oh no; he is much more than that — he is a part of the Catholic-lead and financed far, far, Christian right movement in this Country; Rick Perry was too. These are the one’s that President George W. Bush warned about repeatedly. Thankfully, this dolt will be out of the race after Florida.
