Frothy was for it before he was against it
We’ve discussed this before: Rick Santorum is a fraud on nearly all of his major issues:
- The Santorums had a life-saving abortion that he would deny others.
- Frothy warned big-haired, Jeebus-loving adulterer and all around GOP sex-lizard, the sheep with a secret sorrow, Senator John Ensign that the cuckolded husband of his mistress was about to go public, thus allowing Ensign to get a jump on damage control. So family values are a joke.
- Terri Schiavo — Frothy notably flew to Florida in a Walmart corporate jet to do some grandstanding, and oh, while he was there did some fundraising. So much for dignity of life.
Anyway, given Frothy’s absolute moral failings and ethical lapses (he was on the top ten list of most corrupt politicians at the time of his 16 point loss in his re-election campaign), Frothy has managed to control his brand to be the squeaky clean Xristian in the room.
But going back to the first point, on the sanctity of life crap, Frothy and Karen used to be pro-choice once upon a time. Like when she was shacking up with her 40-plus-years-her-senior lover before meeting the scold she would end up marrying. (Dr. Allen actually delivered Karen, which is kinda creepy when you think about it.) Oh, yeah: he also operated Pittsburg’s first Abortion Clinic, and presumably he and Karen practiced contraception.
Says the good doctor:
“When she moved out to go be with Rick, she told me I’d like him, that he was pro-choice and a humanist,” said Allen, an elderly but vibrant man, during a brief conversation on the porch of his Pittsburgh row home. “But I don’t think there’s a humanist bone in that man’s body.”
Anyway, the article is full of stuff that needs to be broadcast more widely and has citations to original source material. It’s a great read.
