Fetus Uber Alles

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Rick Santorum must be on President Obama's secret payroll. There's no other explanation.  The latest news has to do with his focus on the fetus.  Santorum has long opposed abortion in all circumstances, including rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother.  A few months ago, he came out against birth control, even by married couples.  He believes that states can and should ban contraception and has pledged to use the power of a Santorum presidency to end this evil practice.  Now, Santorum has come out against prenatal testing.  Let that one sink in a bit.  Rick Santorum believes that women should not know if their babies will be born with certain abnormalities and birth defects.  He doesn't believe that federal insurance mandates should include prenatal testing, particularly  amniocentesis which can detect chromsomal abnormalities such as Down Syndrome.  He believes that the "customary procedure" of prenatal testing is to "encourage abortions." 

Rick Santorum apparently believes that women cannot be trusted with knowledge about the health of their babies.  In Santorum's world, if a woman discovers that her child will be born with a serious birth defect, she'll abort it on a whim, then hit the boutiques without a care in the world.  In Santorum's world, if birth control is not banned in all circunstances,  women might have sex for pleasure and who knows where that may lead!  In Santorum's world, women's health exceptions to abortion restrictions are "phony" and used as an excuse by women who view abortion as a form of birth control.  "Hurry up, doc, I'm having my nails done at 3." 

If Santorum gets the nomination, President Obama wins in a landslide.   

In other Santorum news, he has said that President Obama's religion is "some phony ideal, some phony theology — oh, not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology."  Apparently, Santorum is the gatekeeper to Heaven. 

Oh yeah, one more thing - in 2008 he said that Protestants aren't real Christians.  Catholics are the only real Christians.  Here's the actual quote from a speech he gave at a Catholic university:  “We look at the shape of mainline protestantism in this country and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it.”  That should really help him with all those Protestant evangelicals whose votes he covets.

Rick Santorum must be on President Obama's payroll.  There's no other explanation.
