Politics Santorum’s tit for tat on Roe v. Wade anniversary

The Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade turned 40 years old Monday. Rick Santorum, who has made family and tradition a cornerstone of his campaign, used the occasion to contrast his voting record on abortion against President Barack Obama and each of the Republican candidates still standing.
“[Obama's] record of support for abortion is radical and extreme,” Santorum wrote in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal. “He supported federal funds for abortion through ObamaCare and told Catholic Charities that there was no room in the inn if they wanted to help women abused by sex traffickers and be pro-life at the same time.”
Of Ron Paul‘s libertarian streak, he said, “what is liberty without the right to life?”
Santorum accused Newt Gingrich of having “pushed social issues to the back bench.”
But the sharpest barbs were saved for Mitt Romney. “Romney’s passion for life was apparently overwhelmed by Democrats when he put Planned Parenthood on the advisory board for RomneyCare and did not fight government-funded abortions while governor of Massachusetts,” Santorum wrote. “He was, it seems, too intimidated to support judges who understood the plain meaning of the Constitution on the right to life.”

Posted on January 23, 2012 at 10:59amSocial issues are the least of my concern. Social issues are mainly based on opinion and trying to debate them is like a dog chasing its tail.
Report Post »Gingrich pushing social issues to the back is a good thing in my mind.
It shows me that he has a sense of priority in these turbulent times.
Don’t get the Paul comment, Paul isn’t for abortion…
Romney, I don’t mind hearing a flip flopper getting called out, but it seems like more rhetoric instead of focusing on the real issues.
It’s almost like Santorum is grasping at straws here.
