Santorum: Pre-natal testing leads to abortion


Posted: Feb 20, 2012

I'm glad Santorum is getting a lot of attention so Americans can see he is friggin nuts.

Rick Santorum said on Sunday he believes specific types of pre-natal testing leads to a greater number of abortions.

"A lot of pre-natal tests are done to identify deformities in utero and the customary procedure is to encourage abortions," he said. "We know that 90 percent of down syndrome children in America are aborted, so to suggest, where does that come from?"

His remarks on CBS's "Face the Nation" followed his comments over the weekend when he first raised the issue.

"Pre-natal testing . . . does in fact result more often than not in this country in abortion," said the former Pennsylvania senator and Republican presidential candidate, standing his ground.

He stopped short of saying he wanted it banned, but said the government should not force doctors to provide that type of specific testing free.

"There are all sorts of pre-natal testing which should be provided free . . .But not all pre-natal testing," he said.

It is not the goverments job to provide birth control, it is not the governments job to provide prenatal testing, it is not the governments job to TELL a company they have to provide anything..The more you allow government into your life the more we go towards communism..The government has a couple of purposes..Provide a job-rich environment that makes companies want to hire US citizens AND to protect us from foreign invasion..as well as follow the constitution that our founding fathers put in place, not circumvent it cause you cant get approval from the now Rep House..There are checks and balances within our constitution put there so you cant become a dictator..There is a reason the companies, especially our trade, go overseas cause they aren't taxed up the ass over there..This so called President, is a joke and is hell bent on ruining this country..Greed is killing this country..Remove every incumbent and start fresh, it would take 3 election cycles..Somehow we need to get across to these money hungry morons that they WORK FOR US, WE ELECTED THEM and we will remove them..

Government's job - Conservative

Nice to see someone on here that understands the job of government. Although I do not completely agree with all your comments, the base of all of them I believe is right on target. People will never understand the danger of government controlling everything from your birth control to how you die and everything in between until it hits them personally. Then, it would probably be too late. I have seen several comments on this board about the danger of "isms" and then the immediate attack on that poster by the few. Funny thing is, though, I've never seen one poster list a country where any of these "isms" actually worked. The every day people died en mass in these countries. Government cannot even police itself; I don't want it anywhere near me, doing anything other than its assigned duties and regulated by the Constitution. Whether they realize it or not, the "ism" lovers are also protected by the Constitution.
Good, then stay off the roads the - government you hate is

providing, stay out of public schools, don't use my army or FBI to help keep you safe, keep your nose away from my uterus and don't tell me who I can or cannot marry.

PS: If you were truly conservative you would be wearing a burka and keeping your mouth shut the way all good little ladies should do.
If Santorum had his way there would be NO - public schools. nm

Try reading the part where they changed the title, and then re-inserted it with a new title regarding end of life care. While you're at it, try reading the sections where hospitals are penalized and have to pay fines for treating elderly "in excess" of what Obamacare deems necessary. No matter if the medical care improves their life. Guess if it's not your mom/dad, grandparents, even if they are vital human beings, won't matter to you. Speaking of sheeple, pick up a mirror and gaze directly into it, will probably scare you, but might wake you up...doubt it.

It seems the liberals have gone into full-blown lunacy. No fact checking done whatsoever on their part, just straight out lies and disingenuous posts riddled with hate, nastiness, insults and outright anger. Just wondering how long before their meds kick in.

Thank you for your post. What these people do not get is, they can get nasty, employ the name calling, personal attacks, and I am not leaving this board. You can always tell the ones that are clueless. They do not state any facts and, when confronted, they immediately start with the personal attacks, name calling and comments they think are witty, but just show their lack of intelligence. Just check out the thread up and down this board where my name appears and then their responses. Shows you the mentality of someone that will expend that much energy on insults, but no energy on finding facts. Want everything looked up for them. Socialist/entitlement mindset..."do everything for me, I'm owed, I'm entitled". Find it funny, too, they can write such ridiculous comments and then sign it sm, SM, sM, nm, NM, as if no one knows who is doing it. Don'the have the guts to own what they write. Since they are complete strangers to me and none of their opinions matter in my life, they just do not get it that their comments and insults are a waste of effort.
There is much more - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]
Do not call the police if someone breaks into your home. Do not call the fire department to put out a fire in your home. Drink bottled water because the clean water in your tap is provided by the government. Wear a gas mask because breathable air is provided by your government. Stop collecting SS when you reach the amount you paid in. Do not accept Medicare and see what private insurance costs you when you are 65 (if you can get it). Want more?

I don't need the government to control every aspect of my life.

[ In Reply To ..]
As usual, poster before you lists no facts. There were three liberal newspapers that set out to destroy Bush in the 2004 election. Between 2004 and 2005, these papers specifically tried to spin that Bush stole Florida. The papers re-investigated several times because they did not "like" the results (yeah, no bias there). When the papers completed their investigation, they had to admit that not only did Bush win, but won by a larger margin than actually stated due to MISCOUNT OF VOTES IN FLORIDA. Image that...that any Dem would not be honest in THEIR vote, but scream foul for the repubs. That's the problem being married to a crazy ideology; you throw you common sense out the window to embrace the lunacy of the libs. Okay flamers...ready, set, go!

Tooth Abscess Leads To $6k?Mar 27, 2012
