Karen Santorum: Rick Will Do ‘Nothing’ On Contraception

&feature=player_embedded

Karen Santorum on Monday assured women that they have “nothing to fear” from her husband.

“He’s completely supportive of women,” she told CNN’s Piers Morgan. “He’s surrounded by a lot of really strong women. Women have nothing to fear when it comes to contraceptives.”

But Rick Santorum has been a vocal critic of contraceptive coverage and use by women. He recently voiced support for the now-defeated Blunt amendment, which would allow employers to deny contraception coverage. And Santorum’s book criticizes women who choose to work outside the home — a passage he says his wife is actually responsible for. Now, Santorum says the contraception debate is just a media “gotcha” trick.

Karen Santorum insisted her husband will do “nothing” on the issue of contraception.

So it's the media's fault for repeatedly playing the video of your husband saying he'll try to restrict access to contraception. My husband isn't really a whack job, he just plays one on TV.

Fine, whatever. Thank you right wing nut jobs for waking American women up to who and what you are. You've earned this. Enjoy it.

That's because he'll never be president.

...but she looks awful to me. Certainly she could have prepared a bit better to be on national tv.

Of course, If I wanted to involve HER in the discussion of isues I'd mention the affair with the 40+ years her senior man who delivered her as a baby.

little ricky gives us enough reason to show that he's a little shit without involving his wife.

PEACE!

Thanks.

Hey, I was just watching another repug lawyer woman talk about current issues on the Dave Pakman clip. God bless these little ladies, cos they're doing God's work, lying to the American public.

On edit: Pay no mind to Rick's mass-media broadcasted public statements. He's like Virginia's gov Bob. Pay no attention to all of his verbal and written statements. He doesn't believe it anymore, 'less he gets in to power.
