All I can say is... thank goodness I'm not a registered Republican, becuase Santorum is disgusting, and I have aboslutely no idea how anyone in their right mind would vote for him as a candidate.
Not that one thing makes or breaks a candidate, but just last month... Santorum stood by his statement that pregnancy should never be terminated, not even in cases of rape, by saying that people who end up pregnant from rape should be happy for their "gift" from God.
And Colorado, and probably some of the people on the site, want that man to run our country.

I will say I'm hoping to see a vast change come to this country's leadership this year, but I sure hope that someone provides a reasonable, well-rounded alternative. Santorum will never win (thank goodness!), he scares away voters like me who don't really have a party we identify with. I'm a fiscal conservative and social liberal. I would never, ever, vote for Santorum. That said, I probably won't vote for Obama either, but Santorum needs the support of independent voters, and that means not being the crazy religious zealout that he is. As with most people, his beliefs and moral compass won't change, and thus he won't get the independent support. Without it, he doesn't stand a chance.

Wow.
So if a baby is born to a rape victim, can the mother kill her too?
My SIL was raped and she raised and loves the child despite how it was created.
I support abortion rights but I would prefer they be rare.
But back to electability, I think Santorum will eventually fade away again. Romney winning in Florida got many more votes than all three states in this win.

What a rape victim does with her body as a result of her rape has absolutely nothing to do with my feelings, or your feelings, or what Rick Santorum holds as his faith. I don't think one way or the other about your SIL and her choices, they are her choices and it is her body, her life, her potential child.
I think a lot about someone, however, who will tell me that they believe they should legislate into morality their view on the outcome of a rape. (edited to add, of course, that they're not positive thoughts.)
