Santorum: Contraception ‘a grievous moral wrong’

[NJMaverick]

Rick doubled down on his plans to turn the USA into a Catholic theocracy.

Quote:Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says an amendment put forward by Senate Republicans that would have allowed any business to exclude contraceptives from health care plans was not really about birth control.

“The Blunt amendment was broader than that,” Santorum told Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday. “It was a conscience clause exception that existed prior to when President Obama decided that he could impose his values on people of faith, when people of faith believe that this is a grievous moral wrong.”

“But the Blunt Amendment wasn’t just talking about Catholic institutions — Catholic colleges, charities — it was saying any — you know, U.S. Steel — any company, any insurance company could decide not to offer birth control,” Wallace noted.


“No, it wasn’t about birth control,” Santorum, who is Catholic, insisted. “It was about a moral exception to any type of mandate. … We hear so much about the left wanting to separate church and state. Well, how about the separation of church and state when the state wants to force the church and people who are believers into doing something that they don’t want to do.”

They are admitting there that what they "don't want to do" is allow other people access - they want to get in the way of what those other people want to do.

They should be against insurance coverage at all, because it is "socialist." They want to pay in to cover themselves for things but also decide to deny the claims of others in the risk pool.

Rick's idea of religious freedom is the freedom to force his religious views down the throats of others

Preacher Rick is saying it is his right to pick and choose who gets rights and who doesn't. He's despicable.
‘a grievous moral wrong’...the perfect description of a man who ought to sit down and shut up.
