Karen Santorum – the wife of Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum – broke some news last night on the Piers Morgan Show. According to Karen, Mr Santorum is absolutely in favor of women using contraception and if given a chance to take away that right as president, Karen wants all the women of America to know that little Ricky will do no such thing. On the contrary, he will allow you to use your contraception.
KAREN SANTORUM: It makes me really sad that the media tries to do that to him. They try to make it look like he is something that he’s not. Rick is a great guy, he’s completely supportive of women, he’s surrounded by a lot of very strong women, and I think women have nothing to fear. When it comes to contraceptives, he will do nothing on that issue.

PIERS MORGAN: When you say he’ll do nothing on the contraception issue, do you mean that, if he was to become President, that he would basically respect a woman’s right to have contraception if that’s what she chose to do?
KAREN SANTORUM: Absolutely. And he has said that.
So pay no attention to one of his most recent statements opposing contraception when he said, “One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is, I think, the dangers of contraception in this country. . . . Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that’s okay, contraception is okay. It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”
No people, that’s just Santorum being silly. You know, goofing around. He’s really a swell guy. Take his wife’s word on that!
