http://wonkette.com/464369/rick-santorum-used-to-love-abortionsnip
In a December 1995 Philadelphia Magazine article which the Huffington Post pulled from Temple University archives Santorum conceded that he was basically pro-choice all my life, until I ran for Congress But it had never been something I thought about. Asked why he changed his mind, he said that he sat down and read the literature. Scientific literature, only to correct himself and note that religion was a part of it too.

He's out of his fucking mind.

I think abortion is a necessary right, but I don't think it should be something people like or that is an easy decision. Your title is just a bit insensitive regardless of whom you are speaking.

calling it a 'medically necessary procedure" to save her life. That is a fancy way of saying she had an abortion because without it, both she and the baby would die. I agree she needed it but he is such a hypocritical, pat me on the back, nut job that what he did not object to to save her he wants no one else to use to save their lives.
