Rick Santorum: Truth doesn’t change, and it’s on the pro-life side
by Kelli
No one would have predicted that 40 yrs after Roe v. Wade, that teenagers and 20 year olds would be more pro-life than the generation that gave us Roe v. Wade. That tells you that truth is a very stubborn thing. Truth doesn’t go away just because people deny it…. And people, while they don’t want to accept it because it doesn’t fit with how they want to live their lives and the “freedom” that they have, they keep running into it, and when they hear it, they’re troubled by it….
I was doing an interview at a… TV station and they wanted to talk to me about a life issue….
The interviewer says, “the former Senator believes that life begins at conception.”
I interrupted him and I said, “No, I don’t.”…
He said, “You don’t believe that life begins at conception?… Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you did.”
I said, “No, I don’t believe life begins at conception – I know life begins at conception.”…
When you put that issue in the element of belief, in the element of faith, in the element of religion, you diminish the truth. Because the biological truth is, in every science text book in America, it [life beginning at conception] is a fact….
So while the other side would like to say this movement is about morality and beliefs and trying to force your views, they ignore the reality of the science behind this movement….
The bottom line is, truth is on our side. Science is on our side. Young people are on our side. This movement’s winning….
We’re about to make some big changes in this country. They’re coming.

Spot on!
“Life begins at conception.” Everybody knows this.
(Cute snapshot, Jill!)
Love it!!
Thank you, Del! He taught me a new trick. I told him, “The most important thing here is that I look thin.” He immediately squeezed me closer. “Karen (standing right there) has me do that to take pounds off,” he said. Like I said, neat trick!
Sorry, I can’t stand this guy. He uses racial slurs and thinks black people are all on welfare:

I get tired of prolifers immediately rallying around politicians who say they are pro-life then do things that impact others’ lifes in a negative manner. Take for example, Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett. He signed legistlation cutting millions in funding for the most vulnerable — the poor and people with mental, physical, and psychiatric disabilites. Yes, I know there are some people that abuse the system but there are many more that really need assistance, if just for a short period of time.
Allyson Schwartz will probably be his opponent. She is a social worker and Democrat who actually started and ran an abortion clinic (now closed). I would never vote for her of course, but Corbettt is equally objectionable, so I might just stay at home — again. Corbett is becoming increasingly unpopular and the unions, NARAL, and other liberal organizations are going to be pouring millions in this race, so there is a good chance she might win.

You do know that following the thought of making a pro-abort governor happy lead to the various Health Departments NOT inspecting Gosnell’s abortion clinic for 17 years. If the former abortion clinic owner wins by just 1 vote, what do you think will happen? How will you feel about that. ;^/
To me, LIFE and Heaven are the most important issues. Everything else comes in the distance … wellbeing, health, wealth, pride, etc. I am the way that I am and am trying to do what I am suppose to do. WWJD?
phillymiss…you are seriously wrong about Rick Santorum. It sounds more like Porky Pig then somebody saying nigger. What other experiences do you have with him that make you dislike him so much. I think he is a genuinely good person.
Phillymiss,
So you think Rick Santorum is a racist????
For real??
Hey Phillymiss how are you? How is your son?
I have to disagree with you here. I could be wrong (definitely wouldn’t be the first time or the last) but imo the first video sounds like he was having a hard time getting words out and having a glitch in speech. He looks tired and his voice sounds tired from too much campaign speaking to me. I have done a good amount of public speaking over the years and I can tell you when I am overtired words jumble together because my mind is jumbled together. No, I don’t know what is in his heart so I could be wrong but I sure wouldn’t use this clip or the second one to label someone anti-black. He may be but not based on these two clips. As far as the second clip goes, Star Parker says the exact same thing and she gets bashed as well by the left although she is a black women because she insist that black people should get off of ”Uncle Sam’s Planation” (her excellent book) . As an old person who lived through the pre-civil rights and the civil rights era I think the PC police have totally gone amuck.
However, I will give Santorum heck for just being dumb. He should not have used the word “black” here but just talked in generalities about “poor” people (yes I do know that more white people are on welfare than blacks). He should have known as a white conservative, prolife, pro-family Republican man you cannot ever talk about “blacks”, you are going to get clobbered by the left MSM, the opposition party, the Dead Babies R Us crew, pro-aborts, the pro-LGBT crowd, the NAACP, etc. who hate your guts.
However, if you have other proof that Santorum is anti-black I would consider it.
Finally, I will say this, this president and his administration has done more to set back race relations, racial reconciliation and healing than any other in modern times and I am an old lady. There will always be racism in some form as long as humankind and sinful men exist but BHO has encouraged more race-baiting, racial skepticism, distrust and strife than anyone because of his politics of divide and conquer, using any opposition to him as a let’s play the race card and “war on women” opportunity using anything to win an election even if it tears the nation apart. Many people (white and black) were hopeful about his “hope and change” message and voted for him because they wanted this country to get beyond the racial, political divide and they wanted to see this country heal. Some (Democrats and Republicans) extended their hand in friendship to him but in return got a good kick in the rear when he hit the ground. I know of African American and white prolife, pro-family activist and ministers who asked him to meet with them to just talk to him when he was in the US Senate and in the IL legislature, he either kicked them out of his office, refused to see them or totally ignored them. When he finally gets out of office this country will be so divided I don’t see us ever getting back some of the ground we have lost at least not in my lifetime.
Sorry for the long rant. I wish you well phillymiss and do not mean to be argumentative but always consider that prolifers have a target on their back. Like I said I could be wrong about Santorum.
The main reason I despise the democratic party is because of their racism toward me for the past 20-odd years of my 30 years in the US. The democrats have waged a war on me by calling me a “privileged white male” for decades. What have I done all these years to deserve such racism from the democrats? Please someone enlighten me on this becaue I am truly at a loss.
But I guess this is acceptable for some because after all I am White so I must be blamed for everything under the sun regarding the plight of minorities. I am constantly being reminded by democrats/liberals that the COLOR OF MY SKIN defines me and holds me accountable just standing there (even if I am only scratching my nose and minding my own and my family’s business).
When will the democrats recognize me for me, a human being, and not look at my skin color to blame me for the racism in this country? I am so hoping to see that day before I leave this Earth…
@Thomas – First, let me say that I think its stupid to blame white men for all the evils in the world, especially since all white people are NOT privileged.
However, have you ever really been discriminated against for being white?
My sister in TX was at a gas station waiting for an oil change when some pig in a pickup truck drove by and screamed the “n” word at her. She is a nerdy middle-aged black woman who minds her own business. I have been called that word so many times I lost count (people are always talking about the South, but I’ve never lived further south than Philadelphia). Have you ever gone into a store and have someone follow you around from the moment you come in? Have you ever taken your child to the hospital and been asked for your welfare card, even though you’ve never been on public assistance in your life? The list of things I’ve been through goes on and on. The color of MY skin makes people assume that I am poor, uneducated, a criminal and promiscuous.
phillymiss – in my comment above I did not dispute the racism propagated againts black-Americans, have I? I simply pointed out (with drama LOL) that democrats/liberals found a scapegoat and are milking it to no end, sorry for the visual :) Generally speaking, today’s policy reflects that “white-privilege” nonsense, so it is applied on a grand scale and supported by the US government.
Since you want to know, I haved been called the P word (even though I am ultimately white, so many times I have lost count as well). Let’s not become deterred by the N and P words :)
