Rick Santorum's Words Are Very Clear
Rick Santorum's Words Are Very Clear
Rick Santorum's recent statement about "how things are supposed to be" should make one thing perfectly clear: not only are your rights at stake, so is common sense. It is a clear example of how Rick Santorum fully believes the American public should abide by his personal point of view-- and the American public will have no choice in the matter if he is elected.
In the distant past, contraceptives were not legal in the United States-- not even for married people. The birth rate amongst married couples in the United States was usually very high-- often resulting in ten or more children in a family. As many couples did not have the financial ability to properly support huge families, the result was many children died in infancy and early childhood. From inadequate nutrition to inadequate health care, babies and children died. It is safe to assume Santorum would use the popular ultra-conservative term "God's Will" to cover needless suffering and needless death-- the way he believes "things are supposed to be."
The problem with radicals is they can present the erroneous notion that if one is not on their "side," one is automatically on the other side. I'm sure we will be hearing that anyone who believes legitimate contraception for legitimate purposes is right must also believe in abortion-on-demand and sexual freedom. However, even when this is not the case at all, Rick Santorum is presenting his case truthfully: he believes he knows what is 'right' for everyone, and, given the opportunity, will inflict it on everyone.
Ultra-conservatives like Rick Santorum can be very sneaky; it's like the saying "if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile." In the interest of the American public and future generations, we cannot afford to give him that "inch." In the interest of the American public and future generations, we cannot afford for his viewpoint of "how things are supposed to be" to turn life in America back to the way things were.
