Rick Santorum Used To Love Abortion

Did you know that Rick Santorum used to be all "Oh man abortion is so great" (paraphrase) (??) for most of his life? Yes, Rick Santorum! Ladies could hit up all the big sales at the Abortionplex every weekend and he'd be just fine with that. What happened? He "read the literature" when he decided to become a politician, and the literature told him no, ladies should not have this right.

The Huffo's Sam Stein and Jason Cherkis themselves "read the literature" of Weird Rick's interviews and candidate issue forms from the early '90s, when he was an early foot soldier in the Gingrich Revolution but couldn't go more than a few seconds without salivating approvingly over the very idea of abortion being legal and happening all the time:

In a December 1995 Philadelphia Magazine article -- which the Huffington Post pulled from Temple University archives -- Santorum conceded that he "was basically pro-choice all my life, until I ran for Congress... But it had never been something I thought about." Asked why he changed his mind, he said that he "sat down and read the literature. Scientific literature," only to correct himself and note that religion was a part of it too.

Don't worry, hippies/women/American majorities. If you all just read the literature, then you'll get to be pro-life one day, too.
