Can a mod edit the title to "A Case Of Santorum: His Wife Had An Abortion And It's Totally Justified!"[/b] [url]http://freethoughtblogs.com/lousycanuck/2011/06/19/santorums-wifes-abortion-was-different-you-see/[/url] [url]http://oursilverribbon.org/blog/?p=188[/url] [release]Senator Rick Santorum, not to be confused with the neologism coined by Dan Savage meaning [b]“a frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter sometimes the byproduct of anal sex”,[/b] is publicly [b]very much against abortions, especially[i] “partial birth abortions”[/i] [/b]where the baby is terminated any time after three or four weeks and has to be passed out of the woman’s body via the birth canal. [b]Basically meaning any abortion.[/b] The description I’ve given is in no way an exaggeration or a falsehood, and the whole point of the term “partial birth” is to demonize the concept of abortion out of hand, making it seem like you’re giving birth to a viable human baby then stabbing it in the heart before it’s out the door. It’s a dirty tactic, but one in line with Santorum’s namesake neologism, certainly. Santorum’s views are unapologetically black-and-white. [b]He advocates that any doctor performing an abortion under any circumstances should be [i]criminally charged.[/i][/b] [b]Even for rape. Even for incest. Even for saving the mother’s life. None of them justify abortion in Rick Santorum’s world.[/b] Unless it happens to be [b]Rick Santorum’s [i]wife[/i][/b], and [i]she might have died[/i] if not for her [b]20-week-old fetus being “partial birth” aborted.[/b]That’s different. Because, you know, that’s JUSTIFIED. Unlike all those other mothers. [quote]In October, 1996, [b]his wife Karen had a second trimester abortion.[/b] They don’t like to describe it that way. In his 2004 interview with Terry Gross, Santorum [b]characterizes the fetus[/b], who must be treated as an autonomous person, [b][i]as a practically a gunslinging threat, whom the mother must murder in self-defense.[/i][/b] [b]Karen has had to justify her decision to save her own life by explaining that if she died her other children would have lost a mother.[/b] [...] [b] Karen Santorum is the wife of right-wing, anti-abortion Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.)[/b]. In 1996,[b] Senator Santorum led the debate on a bill that attempted to ban late-term abortions, and refused to make an exception even in the case of “grievous bodily injury” to the woman. In Santorum’s article, she expresses her view that carrying a non-viable fetus to term is the only option, and apparently does not think the woman’s health or future fertility should be a consideration[/b][/quote] I hereby call on Rick Santorum to sue the doctor who performed the surgery that saved his wife’s life. While it may not be a criminal act yet, at least you can get damages from the doctor for daring to save your wife’s life at the expense of your wife’s constitutionally endowed infection source. That act was a second-trimester abortion. It was a “partial birth abortion”. It was done only to save your wife’s life. It is done generally only to save other mothers’ lives. It is not a criminal act in any respect. If you do not sue this doctor, you are a hypocrite of the highest order, and deserving of the worst epithets people can Google-bomb you with. Choosing abortion is not an easy choice to make. Sometimes, it’s the only option. People do not have abortions out of hand, despite what right-wingers and religious nuts would have you believe. Oftentimes, choosing abortion is choosing life — for the mother, who is often also the mother of other children. Do not legislate that their wombs become pressganged into being baby factories for rapists or a death sentence for the womb’s owner. Trust doctors, and trust women, to make the choice only when necessary. If you don’t like abortion, then simply don’t have one, even if it costs you your life and your children their mother. And if you aren’t a woman or a doctor, shut the fuck up and stay the fuck out of the argument altogether. Especially if the reasons you’re horning in on this conversation — the reasons you believe you have any moral say in the matter whatsoever — have anything to do with a really old book.[/release] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtHkDDqexHs&list=WL1457A8977B2178BA&index=75&feature=plpp_video[/media] And I thought that this picture looked kind of funny.

His last name explains him very well, I don't know what more to ask for.
So he's a lying and bigoted hypocrite? Explains why he's a Republican.
[QUOTE=Van-man;34054210]So he's a lying and bigoted hypocrite? Explains why he's a Republican.[/QUOTE] AND HE FORCED HIS CHILDREN TO CUDDLE WITH A FETUS
what a piece of shit
A liar, an idiot, hypocritical, that's nothing new. Birds fly, sun shines, water's wet and Republicans are lying hypocritical idiot retards.
I am worried for USA for even allowing such people to voice their opinions to the mass public. In a perfect world such people would be locked up.
[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;34054257]I am worried for USA for even allowing such people to voice their opinions to the mass public. In a perfect world such people would be locked up.[/QUOTE] yeah nobody should be allowed to express their opinions unless their [i]MY[/i] opinions
I'm telling you all, Ron Paul 2012.
It's funny. Because then shit like this would be fucking law. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/2fcfa9f96824dc74cfb8cbcd7ba2074a.png[/img] Having Ron Paul in office would literally destroy the country with his advocacy of state rights.
[QUOTE=Judas;34054320]yeah nobody should be allowed to express their opinions unless their [i]MY[/i] opinions[/QUOTE] I am sorry but if someone running for president has such views, then no, they should not be allowed to speak to a public.
[QUOTE=gokuman4594;34054336]I'm telling you all, Ron Paul 2012.[/QUOTE] I don't know why everyone seems to advocate Ron Paul so much, he's got some messed up political views as well. The only reason he doesn't get a lot of media attention is because he can form a coherent sentence unlike some republican candidates. While I agree with a few of his views, some of them are a bit extreme.

But I do think Ron Paul is the lesser of the rebublican evils.

My point is that no matter how crazy the people next to him are, you shouldn't give a man like that power.

Its damage control. Most of Ron Paul's crazy ides would never become reality. but his good ideas are a lot more likely.
Oh come on guys, you don't actually think that the politicians that come out with half of this shit actually believe what they say do you? They do it to gain votes from the christian demographic, I doubt half of these die hard conservatives actually believe half of what they say, all they want is votes and they don't care who they hurt in the process.
There are comments from people in both of the links defending Santorum claiming that "technically it wasn't abortion". I mean seriously.
Just wow. The US doesn't even have a GLIMPSE of how much international respect they lose with shit like this.
Not surprised, and none of you should be. Plain and fucking simple.
And this guy practically dominated the caucus.
[QUOTE=gokuman4594;34054336]I'm telling you all, Ron Paul 2012.[/QUOTE] I have a better idea: no
[QUOTE=Van-man;34054210]So he's a lying and bigoted hypocrite? Explains why he's a Republican.[/QUOTE] This is true of ANY politician. Be it a republican or democrat or an independent.
It's not okay, Unless it benefits me. That is how he must think, What an Idoit
[QUOTE=Judas;34054320]yeah nobody should be allowed to express their opinions unless their [I]MY[/I] opinions[/QUOTE] i'm all for people expressing their opinions but i mean, this guy SHOULD be locked up i mean come on [QUOTE=Nikota;34054222]AND HE FORCED HIS CHILDREN TO CUDDLE WITH A FETUS[/QUOTE]
And there goes his campaign chances. Concrete proof he's only out for his own interests and not that of his people.
