The procedure, whereby labor is induced to remove the fetus before it has any chance of surviving on its own, is considered by Mr. Santorum to be a ‘partial-birth abortion’, and he is correct. He also personally authorized one to save his wife, whom he loves. Mr. Santorum is opposed to any and all forms of abortion. Incest?

Too bad. Rape? Too bad. Twelve years old? Too bad. Wife, mother, daughter, lover, friend dying? Too bad.

This hypocrite needs to be kept out of all elective offices for the rest of his life.

“Abortion in any form is wrong,” said Santorum in 2000, three years after the tragedy. He should have added, “Except for my wife. If your wife’s life was at stake and the only thing that could save her was an abortion, well, too bad. Your wife will have to die. It was different with my wife. You see, I love her. I don’t even know your wife’s name.”

As a former Pennsylvanian who was represented by Santorum I can tell you that his hypocrisy and contempt for people who don’t agree with him will be displayed over and over the longer the campaign continues. But I hope it doesn’t obscure the most serious issue with a Santorum presidency.

He is dumb as a bag of rocks.

Seriously. Herman Cain level ignorance combined with hubris. With that special current republican brand of disdain for “elitist book learning’!”

Party of Lincoln. Party of Teddy Roosevelt. What happened?
