His disagreement with the issue of birth control be it by contraceptives or abortion is a moral issue to him and one in which he has expressed time and time again his beleief in the sancity of life. I am more fearful of an elected official who aggressively would support gratitious abortions because it is a short leap from that mind set to one of eliminating others as unwanted individuals that are perceived in weighing down America. It is also a short leap from the freedom for birth control to a state sponsored birth containment plan mandated by a government. In short I am more comfortable with a person who demonstrates moral courage and conviction. Finally Santorums beliefs do not and cannot translate into laws of the land for no other reason, and there are many, than that citizens won't tolerate it. I am not a Santorum suppporter but of course would vote for him over Obama because Obama's mind set does concern me. I opine others can decide

Well said, and I respect your right to feel the way you do. I;however, see overpopulation as the largest threat to the world at this time. Santorum would only increase population due to his (in my opinion) superstitious beliefs about reproduction. You may like to see 5 billion people in the US, I would like to limit it to at or even less than we have now. That does not make either one of us right, just two opinions. We have people breeding like rabbits with no way to support their offspring. Any intelligent person with a brain can see that overpopulation causes decease, starvation, etc. Mankind will have to stop this madness or destroy the planet. It is bad enough to have someone like santorum preach his nonsense about abortion, but to even insinuate NO Birth control at all is the sounds made by a madman. Wake up people, this is no cartoon your living in, its real life.
